<p>okay, so on collegeboard it says that the hispanic population is 4%. i found it shocking when VA’s hispanic pop was so low, but i guess that’s because i’m from fairfax county. </p>
<p>i found this interesting…</p>
<p>"Statewide figures probably tell the story best. Though the total percentage of Hispanics in Virginia grew by only 2 percentage points-from 3 percent in 1990 to 5 percent in 2000-this represents a gain of over 889,000 people, and an increase of 106% in the total Hispanic population. The increase of slightly over 169,000 Hispanic people represents 19% of the state’s total gain of 889,318 people.</p>
<p>In general, people of Hispanic origin are concentrated in counties rather than cities. But before jumping to the conclusion that “counties” means “rural,” it might be well to notice that almost a third of the state’s total Hispanic population lives in Fairfax County, hardly a rural area. No other single locality comes close to this figure, and even among MSAs, only the Norfolk and Richmond metro areas have more than 1% of the total. Virtually every locality in Virginia reported some growth in the Hispanic population."</p>
<p>So the hispanic population is clearly growing, but the population at universities is not. Does this make sense?</p>
