NC has been explosive in Hispanic growth. Explosive. Where my family lives in NC, abuts an upper middle class area with atleast 20 undocumented families from Mexico. I find it amazing, since they are all helping eachother out, all came to the United States within the past 5 years and are extremely nice, hospitable people.
Charlotte, Winston Salem/Greensboro and Fayetteville (Not sure about the Triangle) have all seen major growth in Latino populations. Good economy, good jobs, lower COL, temperate weather. Its definitely less hostile than moving directly to LA, Boston, New York or SF.
Im glad to see NC diversify fast. Im really excited to see the 2020 census.

While our rate of growth compared to NC is almost identical, we have a larger Latino, Asian and foreign born population. NC has a higher Native American population, due primarily to the Cherokee reservation. Just saying...
I voted for these two states.
Yeah, Georgia too.
But Kansas and Oklahoma also seem to having quickly growing Latino populations.
I notice that a large chunk of posters still think that the West/Southwest has a monopoly on non-Caribbean Latinos.
Right. Many of the posters don't even realize places like Massachusetts and North Carolina are hotspots for Latino immigration, that's why those states are better examples of this than places like California.
Georgia has seen significant Latino growth as well. To be fair though Tennessee did see 134% Latino group from 2000-2010 but there were only 123,000 latinos there to begin with in 2000. North Carolina went from 378,000 to 962,000(2020 estimate) Georgia went from 435,000 to 1 million(2020 estimate)

Massachusetts went from 428,000 in 2000 to 855,000 in 2019. But it saw almost 300,000 whites leave unlike NC and GA. And it’s a smaller state population wise. It led the nation in illegal immigrant growth from 2007-2017. So we can assume that Hispanic number is quite a bit undercounted.
But I definitely put NC and GA here for a reason.
Rhode Island was 4.4% Latino in 1990. It’s was 16.0% Latino in 2018.
The raw number of Latinos nearly quadrupled in 28 years. It’s probably the most impressive in Latino cultural expansion save for NC.
When your state is the size of Jacksonville, FL and it’s extremely dense (only NJ is more densely populated) these changes are very very noticeable.

Yes Massachusetts certainly is seeing more impressive growth as of lately, it grew more percentage wise from 2010-2020 but North Carolina and Georgia grew more from 2000-2010. I agree Massachusetts is a smaller state, but it also was more diverse and had more Hispanics to begin with relative to its population compared to Georgia and North Carolina.
For example the Hispanic percentage of the total population of each state changed to the following:

Most of the places with decreasing white populations are in decline. Atlanta better take notice it only saw an increase of 30K whites, very subpar for a growing sunbelt city. During the same period Nashville saw almost an increase of 100K whites.
Lets put some numbers into this. Ill start with Metro Areas and Ill do states too.
Lets start with metro area racial change from 2013-2018:
When you do states, could you do percentage growth in addition to raw numbers? Like 20,000 new Asian residents in Wyoming may feel more impactful than 100,000 in CA or TX.

I feel like less than half those cities are in decline. Like Cleveland and Detroit? Sure. Los Angeles and DC? No way.
The nation's top-rated public high school according to "U.S. News and World Report" is Thomas Jefferson magnet H.S. in Fairfax/ Springfield, Virginia. Student enrollment is 73% Asian, 18% white, 9% other. People are complaining now that's unfair, and there should be "Affirmative Action" to reduce the Asian figures, and admit lower-scoring non-Asians ahead of them.
