BALTIMORE (AP) As Maryland's white population shrinks, the number of minorities, and particularly Latinos, continues to increase, according to U.S. Census Bureau Figures released Thursday.
The figures indicate non-Hispanic whites in Maryland decreased by 21,428 between 2006 and 2007, while the Latino population of all races increased by 17,779.
Latinos now make up slightly more than 6 percent of the state's 5.6 million people, whose overall numbers inched up marginally in last year.
Whites represent 63.6 percent of Maryland's population, African-Americans 29.5 percent and Asians 5 percent.
''Maryland has been changing for a while, and these numbers reflect that continuing trend,'' said Audrey Singer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
The growth of the Hispanic population in absolute terms in Maryland has exceeded the growth of the non-Hispanic population for the past three years.
''It's a pretty dramatic difference if you're looking over the course of the decade,'' said Mark Goldstein, an economist with the Maryland Department of Planning.
Much of the growth in the Latino population can be attributed to immigration, Goldstein said. And, the number of minority births in Maryland has been creeping up since the beginning of the decade. During the past two years, minority births exceeded those of non-minorities.
Most children younger than 5 in Maryland are minorities, and public schools are majority-minority, meaning that minorities make up more than 50 percent of that population.
''That's your work force for the future. The work force will be far more diverse,'' said Dunbar Brooks, data development manager at the Baltimore Metropolitan Council.
Brooks describes the increase in the Chesapeake region's Latino population as a natural outgrowth of its relative economic health and closeness to the nation's capital.
Despite a downturn in the housing market, he said, the local economy was fairly robust until recently. Construction has provided jobs for many Latino immigrants, Brooks said, and word has gotten around about the region's desirability. ''As communities grow and thrive, they become attractive in and of themselves,'' he said.
If minorities only make up 35% of the population but are 50%+ of public schools, it means one of several things:
1. Whites aren’t having kids
2. Whites who do have kids homeschool or send to private school
3. Whites have kids, but minorities just outbreed them
AS long as they are all American Citizens, I see no problem.
Except that many of them do NOT love America. I hate to prejudge, but statistically speaking...they’re a lot more likely to be an Obama supporter than any sort of conservative.
Nope more likely MS13 supporters!
The darkening face of Obamastan.
Picture ? Number ? You know the rules.
Hey, it is up to you two... the get the number of typical white people to increase in merri ole merriland!
Just looking at statistics, my friend.
I’d love it if all these minorities were conservatives, but I can assure you, at least 75% are not.
/S
Getting married and having children is only a “burden” for hard-working middle class Americans.
How on earth did we let things reach this point?
“Try the 7-11 in Aspen Hill some morning.”
Hmmm...right down Connecticut Avenue from me.
Is race or religion ever relevant? I bet we agree on most things though (2nd Amendment, low taxes etc)
