The population of Hispanics (who may be of any race) reached 39.9 million on July 1, 2003, accounting for about one-half of the 9.4 million residents added to the nation’s population since Census 2000. Its growth rate of 13.0 percent over the 39-month period was almost four times that of the total population (3.3 percent).
The number of people who reported being Asian grew 12.5 percent to 13.5 million. (Unless specified otherwise, the data for race in this news release refer to the population of those who reported a single race together with those who reported that race in combination with one or more other races. The tables show data for both groups.) Following Asians were native Hawaiians and other Pacific islanders (5.8 percent, to 960,000), blacks (4.4 percent, to 38.7 million), American Indians and Alaska natives (3.3 percent, to 4.4 million) and whites (2.8 percent, to 237.9 million). The population of non-Hispanic whites who indicated no other race increased 0.9 percent, to 197.3 million.
