There is more than 54 million Hispanics in the United States. = [|interesting facts about Hispanic heritage] =

The U.S. Hispanic population now stands at more than 54.1 million, making them the second-largest racial or ethnic group in the U.S.

Hispanics make up 17% of the U.S. population. That's up from 5% in 1970.

It is estimated that by the year 2060, the Hispanic population in the United States will grow to 128.8 million and will constitute approximately 31% of the population.

About 55% of Latino adults say they are Catholic, while 16% are evangelical Protestants and 5% are mainline Protestants (2013.)

People of Mexican origin account for two-thirds (34 million) of the nation's Latinos.

Latinos make up the largest group of immigrants in most states, mostly because Mexico is the biggest source of immigrants in 33 states. In some states, though, other Hispanic groups are the largest: El Salvador is the top country of birth among immigrants in Virginia and Maryland, the Dominican Republic leads in New York and Rhode Island and Cuba is the top place of birth for immigrants in Florida.

There were eight states with a population of 1 million or more Hispanic residents in 2013 — Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Texas.

Latinos are the youngest of the major racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. At 27, the median age of Latinos is a full decade lower than that of the U.S. overall (37 years).

Among Latinos, there is a sizable difference in median age between the U.S-born (18 years) and foreign born (40 years).

From 1993 to 2013, the number of Latinos younger than 18 in the U.S. more than doubled (107% increase), compared with an 11% increase among the general U.S. population younger than 18, according to the Census Bureau data.
