Latinos in Massachusetts Selected Areas: Salem, Beverly, Marblehead and Swampscott
This report provides a descriptive snapshot of selected economic, social, educational and demographic indicators pertaining to Latinos in Salem, Beverly, Marblehead and Swampscott.

The majority of the Latino population (81.0%) lived in Salem in 2000, while 13.9% lived in Beverly.
