How many Mexicans are in the world?

Answer 1

Hard to answer as many will be documented in US as white. Until the 1960's Hispanics were considered white, colored, or of Indian stock and entered into US census as such. Also, many today will not even list themselves as hispanic or Latino or do not know their roots.

Answer 2

If you mean Mexican-Americans, being those people who were born in the US from Mexican parents, or have been granted "the green card", those would be approximately 34 million, or 10.9% of total population.

Answer 3

There are approximately 12 million Mexican citizen living outside of Mexico (2016). Most of them live in the United States (11.5 million) as legal residents, keeping the bi-nationality. The remaining can be found throughout the Americas (approx. 270,000), Western Europe (175,000) and some scattered communities in the rest of the world (e.g. Israel, China and Japan).

There are another 3-6 million Mexicans living illegally in the United States, but these are accounted as part of the general population, as their country of residence is still Mexico.

Answer 4

Hispanic is a vague term used for "non-white people who speak Spanish". In such case, most Mexicans (up to 91% out of 112 million) are Hispanic.

Answer 5

Before contact with Europeans, Mexico was inhabited by 15-45 million Native Americans.

Answer 6

Depends on where you live. In some states the Hispanic population is the majority. For instance, CA has a Hispanic population of about 40% of the total population. Some states are less.
