The US Census Bureau recently released statistics estimating the Dominican population in the United States at 1.4 million.
According to the 2010 Census, 308.7 million people resided in the United
States on 1 April 2010, of whom 50.5 million (or 16 percent) were of
Hispanic or Latino origin. The Hispanic population increased from 35.3
million in 2000 when this group made up 13 percent of the total
population.
According to the bureau, the largest Hispanic groups in the US are:
Mexicans (31.8 million), Puerto Rican (4.6 million), Cuban (1.8
million), Salvadoran (1.6 million), Dominican (1.4 million) and
Guatemalan (1.0 million).
The US Census Bureau says that in 2010, 37.6 million, or 75%, of
Hispanics lived in the eight states with Hispanic populations of 1
million or more: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois,
Arizona, New Jersey and Colorado.
The bureau reports that between 2000 and 2010, the Hispanic population
grew by 43%, or four times the nation's 9.7 percent growth rate.
