List of U.S. states by Hispanic and Latino population

The state with the largest percentage of Hispanics and Latinos is New Mexico at 47.7%.

In the 2010s, Hispanic population growth slowed down due to a massive decline in immigration from Latin America as well as a large decline in birth rates; Asians became the fastest growing demographic group.

Growth was slowest in the states with large historical Mexican American and Hispano populations including New Mexico, California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas and Colorado where relative growth in population proportion was 5% or less compared to 15% nationally.

Growth was highest in states which historically lacked a Hispanic population continuing the trend of intrastate migration for mostly lower wage jobs in the 21st century by Hispanics.

These states include North Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Maine where relative growth in population proportion was over 50%.
