WE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE
This inspiring because as we approach Hispanic History Month in America, it combines historical context, a compelling statistic, and a clear call to action. According to the most recent data:
Mexican — the largest group by far, roughly 40 million people, or 57% of the U.S. Hispanic population as of 2024
Puerto Rican — the next largest, at about 6.1 million
Cuban, Salvadoran, Dominican, Guatemalan, Colombian, Honduran, Venezuelan, and Ecuadorian — each topping 1 million
Venezuelans were the fastest-growing origin group between 2019 and 2024, more than doubling in number, while growth among Mexicans and Puerto Ricans slowed to around 5%
