This report describes the Hispanic population in the United States
in 2002 using data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau in the Annual
Demographic Supplement to the March 2002 Current Population Survey.
Results indicate that more than one in eight people in the United
States are of Hispanic origin. Hispanics are more geographically
concentrated than non-Hispanic Whites, and they are more likely to
live inside central cities of metropolitan areas. Hispanics are more
likely than non-Hispanic Whites to be under age 18. Two in five
Hispanics are foreign born. Hispanics live in family households that
tend to be larger than those of non-Hispanic Whites. More than two in
five Hispanics age 25 and older have not graduated from high school.
Educational attainment varies among Hispanics. Hispanics are much
more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to be unemployed. Hispanics and
non-Hispanic Whites have different occupational distributions.
Hispanic workers earn less than non-Hispanic white workers. Hispanics
are more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to live in poverty. (SM)
