Hispanics/Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S. and play a major role in shaping our economy and society, making up 18.7% of the U.S. population. In Virginia, Hispanics/Latinos make up 10.5% of the state's population and in some cities already make up about 40% of the residents. Over the next two decades, the U.S. Census estimates that the Hispanic population will double in the state of Virginia.
