Report: Md. Hispanic Population Far Exceeded Estimates

Census counted about 46,000 more individuals than had been anticipated, Pew says

The Hispanic population's growth in Maryland and several other states far outpaced previous estimates, according to an analysis of census data released this week.

In Maryland, the 2010 census counted about 46,000 more Hispanic individuals than the Census Bureau had estimated were in the state, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan group that studies the country's Hispanic population.

At 10.7 percent, Maryland's was the fourth-largest underestimate in the country, behind Alabama, Louisiana and Kansas, the center reported this week. Nationally, the 2010 census counted about 1 million more Hispanics than had been expected, according to the report.

GUARANTEE it is STILL a low estimate. Thank God we have Napolitano and obama on the job.. They ASSURE us the border is controlled (by the mexican drug lords, that is) and our borders are secure. And by "secure", they mean not a single Mexican will ever get within 50 yards of THEM. The rest of us serfs??? We're on our own. It's good to be King.
