Description

Today, people from all over Latin America live in Rhode Island. The number of Hispanics has grown from nearly 8,000 in 1970 to 58,598 today. That number is projected to grow to 70,000 by the year 2000, according to the U.S.
Census Bureau. Agencies that work with Latinos, however, say the numbers are a quarter to a third higher.
