A new national survey shows the Latino population in the U.S. rose 47 percent from 2000 to 2011, but that’s not as much as it rose in Hall County (69 percent) or in Georgia (102 percent). The Pew Research Hispanic Center in Washington, a demographic research institute, this week released a report that shows the Latino population in the U.S. during those 11 years swelled from 35.2 million to 51.9 million. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Latinos made up 25.9 percent of Hall County’s total population in 2011, surging to about 46,000 from 27,000 in 2000.
