According to a radio report on NPR yesterday, Latinos make up about five percent of the total population in Indiana. According to the same radio report, most of these Latinos are Mexican and Puerto Ricans.

In 2003, Latinos represented 4% of the population in Indiana (over 240,000). The three counties with the largest Latino population are Lake (61,400), Marion (41,400), and Elkhart (20,200).

Indiana ranks 21st among states for the size of its Latino population.

It is projected that the growth of the Latino population will increase by more than 15% between 2005 and 2015 and by more than 20% between 2015 and 2025.
