Abstract: The most recent data released by the U.S. Census Bureau for 2007 indicate that New York Citys Latino population increased by 2.5% between 2006 and 2007. Puerto Ricans remained the largest national group among all Latinos (778,628) and 33.3% of the total Hispanic population of the City, an increase of .9% since 2006. Even though marginal, this is the first increase noted among the Citys Puerto Rican population since the 1980s. Even though Dominicans decreased by 1.3% from 2006, and this is the first time since the 1980s this has occurred, they continued as New Yorks second largest national group (602,093) and 25.8% of all Latinos. Mexicans continued to be the fastest growing of the Latino nationalities increasing by a remarkable 9.8% between 2006 and 2007. By 2007 the Citys Mexican population stood at 289,755 and 12.4% of the total Hispanic population. Mexicans in New York City have increased by 57.7% since 2000.
