Introduction
Hispanic and Latino Americans are those who, at least partially, have Spanish or Latin American ancestry. They are also those who more broadly self-identify as Hispanic or Latino, regardless of their ancestry. Often used interchangeably, Hispanic was primarily used to describe individuals coming of Spanish descent while Latino would also include people with Portuguese roots. Most Hispanic and Latino Americans have ancestors from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, or Columbia. These categories are considered to be ethnic categories, rather than a particular race. Hispanic and Latino Americans often share a diversity of inter-related linguistic, historic, and cultural heritages.
According to the United States Census, the Hispanic percentage of the total United States population was 18.7% in 2020. From 2010 to 2020, the United States has seen a 23% increase in its Hispanic population. Within the United States, North Dakota is the only state to have seen its Hispanic population more than double in the time period, experiencing a 148.1% increase.
