CensusScope is an easy-to-use
tool for investigating U.S. demographic trends, developed
by the Social Science Data Analysis
Network (SSDAN) at the University of Michigan. Analysis
of the census data allowed the SSDAN to develop charts and and
exportable trend
data for the "Ability to Speak English Among Those Speaking A Language
Other
Than English"
that includes the following categories:
- Language
Spoken at Home, 1990-2000
- Population Speaking English
Less Than "Very
Well" in
2000; and
- Population Speaking English
Less Than "Very
Well" in
1990.
The Census Scope data can be filtered to return
results from geography at different levels, including states,
metro areas, and counties.

This Pew Hispanic Center report presents new population projections for the Latino population. Developed by Jeffrey S. Passel, a veteran demographer and principal research associate at the Population Studies Center of the Urban Institute, and Roberto Suro, a researcher from the Pew Hispanic Center, the projections identify important trends in the growth patterns of the Hispanic population.
The increase in the U.S. Hispanic population, traditionally fueled principally by the arrival of immigrants, is increasingly being sustained by their American-born children. The report estimates that by 2020, almost half the growth of the U.S. Latino population will come from the second generation, that is, the sons and daughters of recent immigrants. The most recent census in 2000 showed that the fertility rate among first-generation Latino women was 3.51 births, compared with only 1.84 births for non-Hispanic whites, 2.53 for African-Americans and 2.60 for Asian women. On this basis, the report estimated that the U.S. Hispanic population would reach 60.4 million between 2000 and 2020, a 71 percent increase, yet considerably below the growth rate registered between 1970 and 2000. But the second generation will grow by 119 percent, accounting for 47 percent of the country's increasing numbers of Hispanics.
