Census: Florida population growth last year driven by Hispanics

This is an Associated Press article, a very interesting read. The largest rise in Hispanic population was in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The article appeared in many places including SaintPetersBlog; here's an excerpt:

     Hispanic residents made up almost half of Florida’s population growth last year, and the age gap between Florida’s white and minority residents continued to widen, according to figures released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
     Florida grew by more than 290,000 residents from July 2013 to July 2014, and more than 141,000 of those new residents were Hispanic.
     “It’s a continuation of a trend in terms of growth,” said Stefan Rayer, population program director at the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research. “The Hispanic population is increasing the most of any racial or ethnic group.”
