The Census released its annual count of the U.S., population – updates, really, of the formal decennial counts – yesterday. I assume the numbers have changed across the board because these are from July of 2016. So they’re a year old.

Here’s the thing, if we apply the 2016 percentage of growth of U.S. Latinos to 2017 we get 61.1 million. But that’s getting ahead of ourselves.

These numbers prove, to an extent, what trump voters are upset about and why they like his nativist rhetoric.

Today’s numbers

57.7 million – The number of Latinos in the U.S. as of July 1, 2016.

2 – The percentage of growth of Latinos in the U.S. from July 2015 to July 2016.
