Background: U.S. Hispanic population up 30%; Gwinnett 25th in growth

WASHINGTON — Hispanics account for more than half of the U.S. population growth this decade, an increase spurred more by births than immigration, a study released Thursday found.
The U.S. Hispanic population has grown by nearly 30 percent — from about 35 million in 2000 to about 45 million in 2007, says the report by the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington.
Some of the counties with rapid growth in the Hispanic population are in Montana, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts.
However, 80 percent of the growth in the Latino community is still occurring in the South and the West. The 25 fastest growing counties in terms of net Hispanic population growth this decade are mostly in California, Texas, Arizona and Florida, the study said.

I don't understand if the question refers to data that will be reported next year or to data for 2009 that will be probably reported in January 2011.
