Between 2000 and 2007 the annual average growth of the Hispanic population in the U.S. was 4.4%, but since the start of the Great Recession between 2007 and 2014 this average reached 2.8%, according to an analysis at the Pew Research Center, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau.The reasons why the growth rate of the Hispanic population in the U.S. (that reached 57 million in 2015) is below that of the Asian population -3.7% between 2007 and 2014- are in the decline in Latin American immigration and a drop in the birth rate among Hispanic women. Among the key contributions of this study on the Hispanic population in the U.S. is that, despite the drop in the growth rate, Latinos still represent more than half (54%) of the total growth rate of the population between 2000 and 2014. California continues to be the state with the largest Hispanic population with 15 million, according to figures from 2014, although in Texas it has grown faster, with a 56% increase, from 6.7 million in 2000 to 10.4 million in 2014.The report also shows that 53% of Hispanics in the U.S. lived in 15 metropolitan areas in 2014. The area of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Anaheim topped the list with 6 million Hispanics in 2014 for that year, in which a majority was born in the U.S. While the Hispanic population in Florida Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, includes most of the immigrants, 61% out of the 2.6 million Hispanics born out of the country.
