In 2011, Hispanics accounted for 16.7% of the national population, or around 52 million people. Population CensusViewer US 2010 Census Latino Population as a heatmap by census tract Hispanic and Latino Population by state or territory (2000–2010) High rates of immigration and fertility have shaped the growth of the Hispanic and Latino population. Nearly one in six Americans was Hispanic or Latino as of 2009, a total of 48.4 million out of the estimated 307 million Americans. Hispanic and Latino Americans (along with Asian Americans, most notably) have contributed to an important demographic change in the United States since the 1960s whereby minority groups now compose one-third of the population. The Latino population is much younger than the rest of the country, of no less than two dozen national origins and of every race, with a longer life expectancy than their fellow Americans, and geographically concentrated in the southwestern United States. The demographics of Hispanic and Latino Americans depict a population that is the second-largest ethnic group in the United States, 62 million people or 18.7% of the national population.

As illustrated in the map below (Figure 3.17.4), the use of an unlimited set of color hues to symbolize unique data values leads to a confusing thematic map.Īuthor: David DiBiase, Senior Lecturer, John A. This symbolization strategy is designed for use with a small number of nominal level data categories. This option assigns a unique color to each data value. For this reason some might be tempted to choose ArcMap's Unique Values option to map rates, densities, or even counts. Logically or not, people prefer colorful maps. Most textbook cartographers would approve of this, since they have long argued that it is the lightness and darkness of colors, not different color hues, that most logically represent quantitative data. Color ramps are sequences of colors that vary from light to dark, where the darkest color is used to represent the highest value range. Users may choose a group of predefined colors, known as a color ramp, or they may specify their own custom colors. Users can adjust the number of classes, the class break values that separate the classes, and the colors used to symbolize the classes. Because our ability to discriminate among colors is limited, attribute data values at the ratio or interval level are usually sorted into four to eight ordinal level categories.
