Due to the extremely large file sizes, American FactFinder can only store data from the last two Censuses. Currently, only the 2010 and 2000 Census data are available in American FactFinder. For the 1980 Decennial Census, consult these publications and related resources for data on the Hispanic/Latino population.
Note: The Hispanic/Latino population is described in the 1980 Census as persons “of Spanish origin.”
