For one, I'm Brazilian so I think I can offer some ideas as to why this is.

Brazilians are not hispanic, so they can't be lumped into that category. Also, Brazilians are not confined to one race like many other Latin American countries except to Argentina and Uruguay of course. Because of this, many Brazilians in the USA might just check in "caucasian", "mixed-race" or "black" in the census information.

Anyway, many many of the newer immigrants from Brazil to the USA have gone back to Brazil due to better financial opportunities.

Me, I live in the USA 3 months of the year due to work being headquartered in New York City. The rest of the year I'm in Brazil.

Other South Americans like Brazilians, Guyanese or Central Americans like Belizean will more than likely be released with Summary File 2 or some other update. Argentines, Peruvians, Colombians, etc were included because they are part of the Hispanic or Latino category which was released with Summary File one as it was back in 2000.

The Top 5 by numerical increase (2000->2010) by ethnicity, race & tribe alone (not mixed or part-something) & Hispanic or Latino group that we have data for so far for each State.

The percentage to the right is the percent of the Total State population increase each group represented.

Alabama
1 Black or African American alone: 95,381 28.67%
2 Mexican: 78,389 23.57%
3 Guatemalan: 11,829 3.56%
4 Asian Indian or East Indian alone: 6,136 1.84%
5 Puerto Rican: 5,903 1.77%
Total Population Increase: 332,636

California
1 Mexican: 2,967,220 87.73%
2 Salvadoran: 300,957 8.90%
3 Filipino alone: 276,902 8.19%
4 Chinese (except Taiwanese) alone: 231,881 6.86%
5 Asian Indian or East Indian alone: 213,357 6.31%
Total Population Increase: 3,382,308

*If you're wondering why the numbers exceed the total growth if you add them up -- my best guess is that there were decreases in other ethnic or racial groups (outmigration, death vs births, etc) & that Hispanic or Latino groups can be of any race. I'd imagine there's some logical explanation?

Delaware
1 Black or African American alone: 41,148 35.99%
2 Mexican: 17,297 15.13%
3 Puerto Rican: 8,528 7.46%
4 Asian Indian or East Indian alone: 6,144 5.37%
5 Guatemalan: 3,569 3.12%
Total Population Increase: 114,334

Hawaii
1 Filipino alone: 26,862 18.06%
2 Mexican: 15,595 10.48%
3 Puerto Rican: 14,111 9.49%
4 **Marshallese alone: 6,316 4.25%
5 Spaniard or Spanish: 5,824 3.91%
Total Population Increase: 148,764

**There's no data available from the 2000 Census in regards to the Marshallese population for Hawaii so I'm not entirely sure of the actual numerical increase at the moment. However, there was a Census of various Micronesian groups in 2003 funded by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) which numerated the population at 2,931 for that year (& I think it included those that were mixed unlike the figure I posted).

Kansas
1 Mexican: 99,027 60.13%
2 Black or African American alone: 13,666 8.30%
3 Asian Indian or East Indian alone: 5,695 3.46%
4 Guatemalan: 4,458 2.71%
5 Puerto Rican: 4,010 2.43%
Total Population Increase: 164,700

Pennsylvania
1 Black or African American alone: 153,077 36.33%
2 Puerto Rican: 137,525 32.64%
3 Mexican: 74,390 17.66%
4 Dominican: 50,162 11.91%
5 Asian Indian or East Indian alone: 45,785 10.87%
Total Population Increase: 421,325

Wyoming
1 Mexican: 17,756 25.42%
2 Spaniard or Spanish: 1,045 1.50%
3 Black or African American alone: 1,026 1.47%
4 Arapaho alone: 653 0.93%
5 Puerto Rican: 451 0.65%
Total Population Increase: 69,844

*The 1910 Census for Hawaii & Alaska was a lot more detailed than the all the other states. Hopefully, i'll stumble across more detailed information for the other 48.

Hawaii 1910
1 Japanese: 79,675
2 Native Hawaiian (Kānaka Maoli): 38,547

8 Filipino: 2,361
9 Spaniard or Spanish: 1,990
10 Black or African American: 695
Total Population: 191,909

*Believe it or not Hawaii had the largest Puerto Rican population outside of Puerto Rico until the 1910 Census when New York just edged pass it.

2 Black or African American: 54,030

*Bonus flashback since there was more detailed data for the state like Hawaii.

Alaska 1910
1 White: 36,400
2 Eskimo: 12,636
3 American Indian: 11,244
4 Aleut: 1,451

Thank you Urbanguy for all the data. It's very much appreciated as much as it's fascinating.
considering 9% of the real state sold in Miami to foreigners, between march 2010 and march 2011, was sold to brazilians, yes, the absence of brazilians is probably skewed for some reason related to the census questionaire, rather than by a real absence of brazilians.

Birmingham, Alabama to contest 2010 Census results

The city of Birmingham plans to contest the 2010 census results that showed the city shrank from 230,000 to 212,000.

What's at stake? The city's place as the largest city in the state, millions in federal funding. Without a recount, the city could drop to the 2nd largest city in the state, after Montgomery by as early as 2012. By about 2020, it would become the fourth largest city in the state, after Mobile, Huntsville.

If baby boomers stay in suburbia, analysts predict cultural shift


June 28, 2011

By Carol Morello

The Uneven Aging and "Younging" of America PDF: http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/papers/2011/0628_census_frey/0628_census_aging_frey.pdf

Quote:
The nation’s suburbs are home to a rapidly growing number of older people who are changing the image and priorities of a suburbia formed around the needs of young families with children, an analysis of census data shows. Although the entire United States is graying, the 2010 Census showed how much faster the suburbs are growing older when compared with the cities. Thanks largely to the baby-boom generation, four in 10 suburban residents are 45 or older, up from 34 percent just a decade ago. Thirty-five percent of city residents are in that age group, an increase from 31 percent in the last census.

- The political ramifications could be huge as older voters compete for resources with younger generations. “When people think of suburban voters, it’s going to be different than it was years ago,” Frey said. “They used to be people worried about schools and kids. Now they’re more concerned about their own well-being.” The nation’s baby boomers — 76 million people born between 1946 and 1964 — were the first generation to grow up in suburbia, and the suburbs is where many chose to rear their own children. Now, as the oldest boomers turn 65, demographers and local planners predict that most of them will not move to retirement areas such as Florida and Arizona. They will stay put.

- As part of its 50 Plus Action Plan, Fairfax County has converted its pedestrian traffic signals to countdowns so people can gauge whether they have enough time to cross. The county has held forums on kitchen and bath remodeling designs that make the areas accessible for wheelchair users. It collaborated with George Mason University in a course on coping during retirement. And a police unit has been formed to focus on financial fraud committed against the elderly.

- In Montgomery, where 11 residents turn 65 every day, the county two years ago held a summit on the needs of its elderly residents. Since then, it has developed a Web site listing all of the services available to seniors. It has helped several neighborhood groups establish “villages” in which younger residents volunteer to help drive their elderly neighbors to appointments. And to meet seniors’ growing need for income after the stock market faltered, it has staged job fairs. “Retirement used to be the golden years,” said Kenney. “No more.”

- “AARP research shows that most communities are behind in planning for their aging populations, but those that are adapting have come up with common-sense solutions to improve home design and make transportation easier,” said Nancy LeaMond, the AARP vice president, in a written statement. Although Florida and Arizona remain retirement magnets, 17 of the 25 states with the highest concentrations of senior citizens are cold-weather states.

...and the roll out continues...

NOTE: There's no data for Arab/Middle Eastern, European, West Indian or Subsaharan African groups with this release. CSAs that extend into other States are not complete until all States have been released. Also the data is for ethnic, tribe or racial group alone (not mixed) with the exception of Hispanic or Latino groups which can be of mixed race (e.g., Mestizo).

***As for those that have been wondering about the Brazilian population -- that will more than likely be released with Summary File 2 as it was in 2000.

*Over 1,900 for AK

Alaska
1 Yup'ik alone: 27,329
2 Black or African American alone: 23,263
3 Mexican: 21,642
4 Inupiat (Eskimo) alone: 20,941
5 Filipino alone: 19,394
6 Alaskan Athabascan alone: 12,318
7 Tlingit-Haida alone: 8,547
8 Aleut alone: 7,696
9 Korean alone: 4,684
10 Samoan alone: 4,663
11 Puerto Rican: 4,502
12 Hmong (Mong) alone: 3,427
13 Spaniard or Spanish: 2,632
14 Chinese (except Taiwanese) alone: 1,998
15 Dominican (Dominican Republic): 1,909
Total Population: 710,231

*The biggest surprise for me was just how fast the Hmong population has grown in Alaska. I've known for a while now that many have been relocating there from California, Minnesota & to a lesser extent straight from Laos & Thailand but I was guessing the population was going to be around 1,500-1,800 not over 3,400! Up 3,143 from the 2000 Census!

With jobs and federal aid at stake, U.S. cities are lining up to contest their 2010 census counts as too low. A decade ago, there were 1,200 challenges filed by cities, towns and counties. The U.S. Conference of Mayors is predicting a big jump in that number, due in part to tighter budgets that make local officials more sensitive to potential drop-offs in federal money for Medicaid and other programs.

Nearly $450 billion in federal aid is distributed to states based on population each year, or roughly $1,500 per person.

The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law is compiling Same Sex Couple info as it's released:

http://www3.law.ucla.edu/williamsinstitute/home.html

They include total same sex couples, concentration by county, and gender split (where male-male couples are concentrated compared to female-female).

The changing face of America's youth


Read More: http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/07/06/hispanic.youth.majority/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

Quote:
The United States is walking a path to greater diversity. And younger people are leading the way. For the first time in national history, the majority of young people in two states -- California and New Mexico -- now identify as Hispanic, according to census data released this year.

In eight additional states -- Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Maryland and Hawaii -- white children are in the minority compared with peers from other racial and ethnic groups combined, according to data analyzed by William Frey at the Brookings Institution.

The number of white children in the United States actually shrank by 4.3 million kids from 2000 to 2010, according to the analysis. Meanwhile, the number of Hispanic and Asian children grew by a total of 5.5 million. Hispanics made up the bulk of this growth.

"Were it not for Hispanics, the nation's child population would have declined," Frey writes in his report, titled "America's Diverse Future." The trend is expected to continue, with changes first hitting people younger than 18, then spreading as generations age.

US Household Shifts Could Impact Housing Recovery


http://www.cnbc.com/id/43687637

Quote:
.....

The report, from John Burns Real Estate Consulting's Chris Porter, is titled simply, "Tremendous Demographic Shift." And the numbers are pretty tremendous.

"The number of non-family households—people living alone or households that do not have any members related to the householder—has increased nearly five times in the last 50 years, from 7.9 million to 39.2 million. At the same time, the number of family households has increased by just 1.7 times, from 45.1 million to 77.5 million," according to Porter.

In addition, married couples have dropped to less than half of all US households from 75 percent in 1960.

So let's think about the current housing stock, much of which is more than 50 years old. We've recently seen a downsizing trend for several reasons, namely the weak economy and builders constructing cheaper homes to meet the demand but also the environmental movement and the high cost of energy.

But this comes right after the "McMansion" era when oversized homes were all the rage. Those homes, of course, still exist in vast quantities, despite the fact that there are, according to this report, fewer big family households and therefore less need for large square footage.

We've also talked a lot about the surge in renting; we've blamed it on the housing crash, fear of buying into a depreciating market and the tight credit conditions that are pricing many potential buyers out.

...and another round...

NOTE: There's no data for Arab/Middle Eastern, European, West Indian or Subsaharan African groups with this release.

Kind of surprised that the Ecuadorian population ranks so high in NY, but I'm noticing that Haitian, Guyanese, Jamaican and other non hispanic / non asian ethnic groups aren't represented. I know you've probably explained that already though.

But still, is there a Little Ecuador somewhere in the city?

In looking for the answer I found this cool map... The new littles. Go play.

Little Ecuador (if there is such a thing) is in Corona. Should have figured it'd be somewhere in Queens.
