Country of Origin Profiles of U.S. Hispanics.

More than eight-in-ten Hispanics self-identify themselves as being either of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Salvadoran or Dominican origin. Mexican-Americans are by far the largest group, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the Hispanic population in the U.S. There are a range of differences between these five population groups—for example, in the share of each group that is foreign born, citizen (by birth or naturalization), and proficient in English. They are of varying age and tend to live in different areas within the U.S. Likewise, the groups display varying levels of education, homeownership rates, and poverty rates. These and other characteristics are explored in five fact sheets, one for each country-of-origin group. Each population is also compared to all Hispanics and the U.S. population overall.
