Hispanic and Latino Americans are Americans with origins in the Hispanic countries of Latin America or in Spain, and all others who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino.[2][3][4][1] Reflecting especially the Latin American population, which has origins in all the continents and many ancestries,[5] Hispanic/Latino Americans are very racially diverse, and as a result form an ethnic category, rather than arace.[6][7][8][4] Some members of the community prefer the term Hispanic and others Latino, the latter being more common in the western United States and the former in the eastern.[3]
Hispanics and Latinos constitute 15.8% of the total United States population, or 48.4 million people,[1][9] forming the second largest ethnic group, after non-Hispanic White Americans (a group which is also composed of dozens of sub-groups).[10] Hispanic and Latino Americans are the largest of all the minority groups, but Black Americans are the largest minority among the races, after White Americans in general (non-Hispanic and Hispanic).[11] Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, Colombian Americans, Dominican Americans, Puerto Ricans,Spanish Americans, and Salvadoran Americans are some of the Hispanic and Latino American national origin groups.
People of Hispanic or Latino heritage have lived continuously[12][13][14][15] in the territory of the present-day United States since the 1565 founding of St. Augustine, Florida by the Spanish, the longest among European American ethnic groups and second-longest of all U.S. ethnic groups, after Native Americans. Hispanics have also lived continuously in the Southwest since near the end of the 16th century, with settlements in New Mexico that began in 1598, and which were transferred to the area of El Paso, Texas in 1680.[16] Spanish settlement of New Mexico resumed in 1692, and new ones were established in Arizona and California in the 18th century.[17][18] The Hispanic presence can even be said to date from half a century earlier than St. Augustine, if San Juan, Puerto Rico is considered to be the oldest Spanish settlement, and the oldest city, in the U.S.[19]
For the U.S. government and others, Hispanic or Latino identity is voluntary, as in the United States Census, and in some market research.[20]
