Politically important fact of the day: Hispanics responsible for 58% of population growth in Census's latest estimate

Hispanic population growth is more rapid than the Census thought it would be. Pew reports today:

The Census Bureau has released 2010 Census counts of Hispanics in 33 states; Hispanics accounted for the majority -- 58% -- of population growth over the decade in those states.

Those states' combined Census 2010 total of 38.7 million Hispanics was higher by 590,000 people (or 1.5%) than the bureau's own estimates for those states.
