U.S. Latino population growth and dispersion has slowed since the onset of the Great Recession

According to this report, between 2007 and 2014, the U.S. Hispanic population grew annually on average by 2.8%, down from a 4.4% growth rate between 2000 and 2007 and down from 5.8% annually in the 1990s. As a result, the Hispanic population, once the nation's fastest growing, has now slipped behind Asians (whose population grew at an average annual rate of 3.4% from 2007 to 2014) in its growth rate.
