Speaker:

While percentage gains among Hispanics occurred throughout the United States between the 1990 and 2000 censuses, they were particularly pronounced in the Midwest. After exploring national and regional change, attention will be directed toward what happened within the 12 Midwestern states. While rapid statewide increases occurred among the Hispanic population, numerical and percentage variations are substantial when counties are studied. Differences across rural counties are particularly great. Finally, 2000 census data on age, family characteristics and home ownership will be compared for incorporated places in three nonmetropolitan counties in Iowa.
