Puerto Rico’s population has declined by about 500,000 since 2010, from 3.7 million to 3.2 million. In addition, in 2022, Spaniards accounted for nearly 1 million U.S. each have 1 million or more people: Salvadorans, Cubans, Dominicans, Guatemalans, Colombians and Hondurans.

Six other Hispanic origin groups in the U.S. population of Puerto Rican origin has grown partly due to people moving from Puerto Rico to the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Those of Puerto Rican origin are the next largest group, at 5.9 million, which does not include another roughly 3.2 million Puerto Ricans who lived on the island in 2022. represented nearly 60% of the nation’s Hispanic population in 2022. The roughly 37.4 million people of Mexican origin in the U.S. The increase was due almost entirely to growth in the number of people who identified as White and some other race, according to the 2020 census.Īt the same time, the number of Latinos who identified as White and no other race declined from 26.7 million in 2010 to 10.7 million in 2022. This population grew from 2.1 million to 24.9 million between 20 and now represents about 91% of multiracial Latinos. Growth in the number of multiracial Latinos comes primarily from those who identify as at least one specific race and “some other race” (i.e., those who write in a response). The increase could be due to several factors, including changes to the census form that make it easier for people to select multiple races and growing racial diversity. More than 27 million Latinos identified with more than one race in 2022, up from 3 million in 2010. The number of Latinos who say they are multiracial has increased dramatically. Their population grew by 8.4 million during this time, accounting for 34% of the overall increase. The next closest group is non-Hispanic people who identify with two or more races. population grew by 24.5 million from 2010 to 2022, and Hispanics accounted for 53% of this increase – a greater share than any other racial or ethnic group. Hispanics have played a major role in U.S. In 2022, Hispanics made up nearly one-in-five people in the U.S. The 26% increase in the Hispanic population was faster than the nation’s 8% growth rate but slower than the 34% increase in the Asian population. Hispanic population reached 63.6 million in 2022, up from 50.5 million in 2010.
