Minority Growth

The Census Bureau reports racial minorities accounted for 85 percent of the nation's population growth over the last decade. Growth in the Hispanic population will result in several states gaining seats in the House of Representatives. Census Director Robert Groves says, growth of the Hispanic community is one of the *big stories* of the 2010 count. This week, Census began releasing state-by-state data from the 2010 count. Among the other findings, the country houses 5 million multi-racial people, a gain of 20 percent since 2000.
