What this measures
The percentage of residents who are Hispanic or Latino, of any race. The Census asks about Hispanic origin separately from race. So this figure includes all races, and the race shares next to it count only people who are 'not Hispanic'. Source: Census ACS 5-year.
For most measures, a national ranking mostly sorts places by income and by how urban they are. Each county’s own page compares it with the 50 counties most like it instead, which is often the fairer view.
