This complete statistical profile of the Latino population is based on Pew Hispanic Center tabulations of the Census Bureau's 2008 American Community Survey (ACS). The specific data sources for this statistical profile are the one percent sample of the 2008 ACS Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) and the five percent sample of the 2000 Census IPUMS provided by the University of Minnesota.  

Forty tables cover areas such as home ownership, poverty, education, fertility and much more.

For the purposes of this statistical portrait, persons born in Puerto Rico and other outlying territories of the U.S. are included in the native-born Hispanic population. Hispanics who identified as naturalized citizens or non-citizens are included in the foreign-born Hispanic population.
