Hispanics Now Outnumber
Blacks in U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP)
April 20, 2004
-- Hispanics have surpassed blacks as the nation's largest minority group, the
Census Bureau said Tuesday.
The Hispanic population grew to 37
million in July 2001, up 4.7 percent from April 2000. The black population
increased 2 percent during the same period, to 36.1 million.
The estimates are the Census
Bureau's first statistics on race and ethnicity since results from the 2000
census were released two years ago.
Census Bureau demographer
Roberto Ramirez said it has long been expected that Hispanics would someday
surpass blacks because their birth and immigration rates are higher.
"And the trend shows it will
clearly be increasing more in the future,'' Ramirez said.
Hispanics now comprise nearly 13
percent of the U.S. population, which grew to 284.8 million in July 2001. That's
up from 35.3 million, or 12.5 percent of the country's 281.4 million residents
in April 2000.
Blacks make up 12.7 percent of
the nation's population, up from 12.6 percent in April 2000. The black
population grew by 700,000 in the 15 months after the census was released.
