The racial and ethnic makeup of South Florida continued to evolve over the last decade, as the number of minorities continued to increase as the proportion of non-Hispanic whites diminished. The Hispanic population increased in a number of cities, up 20.5% across Miami-Dade County, and up 38% in Broward County. South Florida Hispanics now total more than 2 million and make up 65% of Miami-Dade County’s citizenry and about 25% of Broward’s.
In Miami-Dade, the white, non-Hispanic population dwindled 21.4%
to 383,551 out of the 2.5 million total, or 15.4%. In Broward, there
were 23.8% fewer non-Hispanic whites at the end of the decade in which
the county reached so-called “minority-majority” status. Now, about 44%
of the population in Broward is white and not Hispanic, down from 58% in
2000.
In Hialeah, home to one of the country’s largest Hispanic communities, population fell by 0.8% to 224,669 in 2010.
But over the last decade, Hialeah grew even more Hispanic. In 2010,
94.7% of its residents identified themselves as Hispanic, an increase of
nearly 5%age points from 2000.
