II. U.S. Latino Population
Figure Population 1 shows that the Latino population of the U.S. in 2015 had a median age of 28 years, while the non-
Latino population was considerably older, with a median age of 40 years.
Figure Population 2 disaggregates the U.S. population into five-year age groups (e.g., 0–4 years, 5–9 years, 10–14 years)
and shows the percentage of each age group that is Latino. Latinos are around 25% of the youngest age groups (0–4, 5–9,
and 10–14) and somewhat less than 10% of the oldest age groups (65–69 and older).
Figure Population 3 shows the concentration of Latinos by county. It is highest in the Western states, Florida,
Illinois, and New York–New Jersey.
