拉美裔人口的大幅增长和地理分散是近年来美国人口历史上最重要的人口趋势之一。我们的县级研究探讨了西班牙裔人口的自然增长和净移民与非西班牙裔人口的人口变化相结合，产生了越来越多样化的人口。本文使用美国人口普查局的数据和NCHS的种族/民族特定出生和死亡的特殊表格，突出了西班牙裔作为新的县人口增长和民族多样性在美国各地的引擎的人口作用景观。它强调了关键的人口过程-自然增长和净移民-占1990-2010年西班牙裔和非西班牙裔人口的绝对和相对规模的变化。拉美裔占2000年至2010年美国人口增长的大部分。然而，2010年拉美裔仅占美国人口的16%。大多数以前的研究都集中在西班牙裔移民;在这里，我们研究如何自然增长和净移民之间的西班牙裔和非西班牙裔人口有助于国家日益增长的多样性。事实上，西班牙裔人口的快速增长对人口的影响已经被最小的白色人口增长所加强，这是由于生育率低，育龄妇女较少，老龄化白色人口中的死亡率不断上升。
The substantial growth and geographic dispersion of Hispanics is among the most important demographic trends in recent U.S. demographic history. Our county-level study examines how widespread Hispanic natural increase and net migration has combined with the demographic change among non-Hispanics to produce an increasingly diverse population. This paper uses U.S. Census Bureau data and special tabulations of race/ethnic specific births and deaths from NCHS to highlight the demographic role of Hispanics as an engine of new county population growth and ethnoracial diversity across the U.S. landscape. It highlights key demographic processes—natural increase and net migration—that accounted for 1990–2010 changes in the absolute and relative sizes of the Hispanic and non-Hispanic populations. Hispanics accounted for the majority of all U.S. population growth between 2000 and 2010. Yet, Hispanics represented only 16 % of the U.S. population in 2010. Most previous research has focused on Hispanic immigration; here, we examine how natural increase and net migration among both the Hispanic and non-Hispanic population contribute to the nation’s growing diversity. Indeed, the demographic impact of rapid Hispanic growth has been reinforced by minimal white population growth due to low fertility, fewer women of reproductive age and growing mortality among the aging white population America’s burgeoning Hispanic population has left a large demographic footprint that is magnified by low and declining fertility and increasing mortality among America’s aging non-Hispanic population.
