U.S. Hispanic population dispersing but still anchored in 3 states

By CNN

(CNN) — The American Hispanic population is dispersing across the country, but is still anchored mainly in three states, according to a new study released Thursday.

More than half the U.S. Hispanic population resides in three states: California, Texas and Florida, according to the Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends Project.

California is home to the largest Hispanic population — one in four U.S. Hispanics are also Californians.

Those three states, plus New York, Illinois, Arizona, New Jersey and Colorado, contain three-quarters of the nation’s Latino population, according to Pew’s analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.
