U.S. Latino population could triple by 2050 - by Ruth Morris

Released Monday, a Pew Research Center study projected the nation's Latino population would triple in size by 2050, to 29 percent of the U.S. population. Broward County is already well on its way to that marker, with a Hispanic population of 22.8 percent. In Palm Beach County, the percentage of Latinos stands at 16.7 percent, according to census data, and is rising. Miami-Dade surpasses both, with a Hispanic population of 61.3 percent of the county's residents.

The black population, meanwhile, would likely remain more or less steady, at about 13 percent, the study projected.
