Latinos in the Heartland:
The Browning of the Midwest

by

Robert Aponte and Marcelo Siles

Research Report No. 5

November 1994

 

This report provides a Latino-focused assessment of the changing economic and demographic landscape of the Midwest between 1980 and 1990. The key findings include the fact that Latinos captured the bulk of population growth over the decade, while sustaining a major loss in real income and experiencing significant increases in poverty. Whites and Blacks also lost out economically, but Whites' losses were less extensive, while Blacks' were devastating. As a result, an increasing gap separates Whites from Latinos and Blacks on indicators of well-being in the Midwest.
