The U.S. Census categorizes Spaniards as Hispanics because the term "Hispanic" refers to people from Spanish-speaking countries or those with cultural ties to Spanish-speaking nations. This classification recognizes the historical and cultural connections stemming from Spain's colonial influence in Latin America. By including Spaniards in the Hispanic category, the Census aims to acknowledge the diverse identities and backgrounds within the broader Hispanic community, which encompasses both Latin American and Spanish heritage.

As of the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates, there are approximately 62.1 million Hispanics living in the United States. This makes up about 18.7% of the total U.S. population.
70% of Miami is hispanic/latino (according to the 2010 Census) or about 280,000 hispanics in Miami. There are about 37 million hispanics in the US (2010 census), which makes Miami have .76% of the US hispanic population (280,000/37000000).
Everything that is about the census is valid. However, the most valid based information is there was more Hispanics and whites on the four regions.
According to the 2010 census, there are 1580 (2.4%) Hispanics or Latinos in St. Cloud.
It is projected that Hispanics will become the largest minority group in the US by 2060, according to the US Census Bureau's estimates. Their population growth is driven by high birth rates and immigration patterns.
Since 1980, the United States census has undergone significant changes regarding the classification and identification of Hispanics. The census now includes a specific question about Hispanic origin, allowing individuals to self-identify as Hispanic or Latino. Additionally, the census has expanded its racial and ethnic categories to reflect the diverse backgrounds within the Hispanic community, offering individuals the opportunity to select multiple races or ethnic affiliations. These changes have contributed to a more accurate representation of the Hispanic population in the United States.
- In 2008, Jacksonville (city limits) had approx. 51,000 Hispanics, BUT the region had nearly 90,000 Hispanics. - So keeping the growth pattern I PREDICT that there are currently about 95,000 (less than 10% of the area population) Hispanics in the area. - But by 2020 it would be fair to say that there would be about 200,000 Hispanics due to the great quality of life, jobs, and a great area! NOTE: Census estimates (2009) show that more than 100,000 Hispanics live in Clay, Duval, Putnam, Flagler, Nassau and St. Johns counties.

Texas had an 1850 population of 212,592 residents. The US Census did not record the number of Hispanics until the 1940 census and even then it was only as a five percent sample of the population. The 1850 Mexican American population is variously estimated at between 15 and 25%.
The term "Hispanic" was coined by the U.S. government for the 1970 Census to categorize individuals from Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America and Spain.
The first U.S. Census was conducted in 1790, and it recorded a total population of approximately 3.9 million people. However, it did not specifically categorize individuals as U.S. citizens, as the concept of citizenship was still evolving at that time. The census primarily counted free persons and enslaved individuals but did not distinguish citizenship status as we understand it today.
