What is going on everyone welcome back the world according to briggs and a look at the hispanic
and latino population of the united states like i said in our asian state video normally i don't do
anything related to race on this channel because i'm at a disadvantage i was raised right and the
only time i notice racial differences is when it comes to food music and maybe how family
gatherings go down in my opinion i think race is the most interesting subject about a person
the thing is not everyone's like that too many people see racial and cultural differences as a
negative in this country we've all seen the videos of people telling someone to go back
to their country in the united states this garbage is normally directed at hispanic and latino people
and most of the time those people are in their country the united states the hispanic population
in 2010 was about 50.5 million residents which was about 16.3 percent of the us population at
the time and now it's 62.1 million which is about 18.7 of the population in 2020 according to the
u.s census so if you think just because someone is hispanic or latino they're not american there's
a good chance you're wrong i get requests all the time for videos like this it's not always
from someone that wants some negative information about a culture or a race or anything like that
a lot of times it's from someone of that race or culture just looking for a nice place to live
where they can find more people that share their culture and life experience and that's who this
video is kind of for today we're looking at the states with the most hispanic or latino population
and we'll be ranking it by the percentage of that state's population that happens to be hispanic or
latino for reference delaware georgia and virginia could be considered the average
with about 10.4 percent of their population being hispanic according to the u.s census
got it get it good let's take a look number 10 illinois illinois has a good size hispanic and
latino population now real quick before i go on if i keep saying hispanic and latino through the
whole thing it's gonna drag this video out so i'm gonna give you the definition and then we're just
gonna go with hispanic hispanic and latino are sometimes used interchangeably they have
different meanings hispanic refers to individuals who are spanish-speaking or have a background
in a spanish-speaking country latino refers to those who are from or have a background in
latin american country so we're gonna stick with hispanic right now and if you have a problem with
that i suggest you turn off the video and move on to something else but back to illinois illinois
has a hispanic population that sits at 2.3 million residents that's about 18.2 percent of their
population the hispanic population has grown about 15.3 percent since 2010's census that's a good
amount of growth but nothing compared to some of the other ones on this list if you're looking for
the most hispanic town in illinois you're probably going to look at cicero cicero is a suburb of
chicago and an unincorporated town in cook county illinois they have a population of about 85 000
which makes it the 11th largest municipality in illinois 88.8 percent of their population
is hispanic number nine new york state new york city has a bunch of different boroughs that have
large hispanic communities not a lot of people outside of new york realize that there are some
towns with good size hispanic populations overall new york state's population of hispanics is a
little under 4 million it's actually 3.9 million as of the 2020 census that means 19.5 percent of
their population is hispanic and that demographic has grown 16 percent since the 2010 census
now i'm sure most people are going to assume that one of the boroughs like queens or brooklyn has
the highest percentage of hispanics they do have a good sized population queens having 36 percent
of their population being hispanic and brooklyn being 30 percent nowhere near what's going on in
a village up the hudson river called haverstraw haverstraw's population is 71.2 percent hispanic
they have a population a little over 12 000 residents and a little under 9 000 are hispanic
number eight new jersey if you've ever visited north east new jersey this should be no surprise
to you right up there by new york they've got a lot of different hispanic communities there
are over 2 million hispanics living in new jersey that's a little over 21 of their whole population
21.6 percent to be exact and their hispanic population has grown by 28.8 since the 2010
census if you're looking for the community with the highest percentage of hispanics you're going
to be looking right across from staten island new york at perth amboy 78 of perth amboy's
population is hispanic that's three quarters of their population over three quarters that's one
of the highest rates outside of mexico city number seven colorado if you didn't know colorado had a
large hispanic community you haven't been paying attention or you've never visited colorado 21.9
percent of colorado's population would be hispanic meaning they have about 1.2 million hispanic
residents and it's been growing since the 2010 census the hispanic population has grown by 21.6
now if you are hispanic and looking to be around your own your best bet is called federal heights
which is a city in the denver metro area it's a little north of downtown denver
64.87 percent of their population in federal heights would be hispanic or latino number six
florida now this one gives you a higher percentage the further south you go in this state miami is
thick with cubans i brought that up in a video i did about florida probably four months ago and
there was quite a discussion whether cubans were caribbeans or were they hispanic that could be its
own video which i'm not going to get into right now 26.5 percent of florida's population is
considered hispanic which means that it's a total of about 5.7 million just under if you're looking
for the most hispanic town in florida it's hialeah it's in the miami metro area and it is 95 hispanic
number five nevada i'll tell you right now we are done with the east and the middle part of
the united states it is all western states from here on out as you can imagine it only makes sense
it's close to the mexico border and central america and all that stuff but nevada doesn't
have the biggest population overall in 2020 they had just a little over three million residents
most of them living in the reno and vegas metro areas and their hispanic population is about 845
000 giving them a hispanic population that makes up about 28 percent of their total population and
that hispanic population has grown by 24.3 percent since 2010. their most hispanic community doesn't
have as high a percentage as some of the other ones on this list it's actually north las vegas
and it's 41 percent hispanic number four arizona arizona is another one that's a no-brainer for
showing up on this list if you didn't think it was going to be here congratulations from waking up
from that coma of yours maybe you've been living in a doomsday shelter since the 1940s i don't know
arizona has a very strong and historic hispanic community there are 2.1 million
hispanics living in arizona and 30.7 percent of arizona's population is hispanic and that
community has grown by 15.7 percent since the 2010 census if you've never visited arizona i will tell
you right now that when you get there you can see the hispanic culture it smacks you in the face as
soon as you get there i mean from the food to the music to the architecture it's all right there now
if you're looking for the most hispanic community in arizona you're gonna have to go south of yuma
not too far from the mexican border you will find the town of summerton arizona it has a population
of about 14 000 overall with 97 of them being hispanic number three texas texas in my opinion
is one of the best states for hispanic culture in the united states i'd say in the united states or
someone would throw in like mexicali or something like that down in mexico they have states also 32
of them to be exact in texas you will find some of the best mexican food and tex-mex
food some of the best tacos i've ever had were in laredo texas this is throughout much of the state
this isn't just down on the border texas has a hispanic population of a little over 11 million
11.4 that's about 39.3 percent of texas population is hispanic and that population has grown 20.9
since the 2010 census if you're looking for the most hispanic town in texas you're gonna have
to float down the rio grande from laredo about halfway between there and the gulf of mexico you
will find the town of roma and to say roma is a hispanic town is an understatement in a big way
roma has a population of about 12 000 residents and of those 12 000 residents 99.9
of them are hispanic i promise you you can get some seriously good tacos there whenever
i go to texas or arizona for that matter or any other western state that is one thing i look for
the best tacos where are they and i can tell you from my experience the more hispanic people they
have living in that town the better tacos you're gonna get i grew up in the los angeles metro area
and i can tell you the closer you got to san diego and the mexican border the better the
mexican food got all right now it's time to place your bets who's number one and who's number two
let's find out number two california the golden state is another one that shouldn't have caught
anyone off guard i mean it's california it's kind of known for this i mean not too far back
california and all the top five on this list were part of mexico and it's not like buying a condo
the old tenants don't leave before you take over they just become part of your household which i'm
kind of happy for cause if not i probably wouldn't have a wife or at least the one i got now yes
my wife is hispanic the hispanic population of california is over 15 million it's 15.5 million
to be exact as of 2020. that means 39.4 percent of california's population is hispanic since 2010
that community has grown by 11.2 percent the most hispanic city or town in california is one i've
never heard of i was born and raised in california i study maps i've never heard of parlier i looked
it up on the map it is a farming community for the most part that is southeast of fresno i looked up
their stats because like i said i knew nothing about this place and i was kind of shocked they
don't have the best livability score it's 49 which is normally horrible but their crime
rate isn't terrible it's 41 percent lower than the national average their cost of living is not
terrible either i mean this is california and it's one percent lower than the national average their
housing is 30 percent lower than the national average and it doesn't look like a bad place to
live now the only bad part about this place i know i'm getting off track of what this video
is all about their income per capita is 65 percent lower and their unemployment is always pretty bad
but it looks nice i mean it doesn't look bad at all especially for this part of california
sorry yeah this doesn't have much to do with what's going on on this video it's just the
it kind of threw me off a little bit i had to do a little extra research but parlor's population
is a little over 15 000 and of that their hispanic population makes up 97.6 of the town
all right before we get to number one don't forget we have another channel called on this
day there's a link down below we would love it if you went over there and watched some videos
give some thumbs up matter of fact do me a favor and give this video a big thumbs up
too all right on to number one and number one new mexico that's right the land of enchantment
has a large hispanic population this again should not be a surprise to anyone i mean
even if you don't know anything about the state it says mexico in the name
it's not like you're gonna show up there it says new mexico and you find out that the
entire state is like 97 scottish but new mexico almost half the population of the entire state
is hispanic new mexico has a population of 2.1 million residents and just a touch over 1 million
are hispanic the actual percentage is 48.7 of new mexico's population being hispanic since the 2010
census the hispanic population of new mexico has grown by six percent their most hispanic
community is a place called sunland park if you're looking for it find el paso texas and it's right
there el paso meets new mexico and mexico all at the same spot the southeast corner of the
town is actually where the rio grande finally meets mexico 93 of sunland park is hispanic
all right that's today's video hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some
information out of it now go out have a productive day and be nice to each other
