*Pennsylvania's '''Hispanic''' population grew by 82.6% between 2000 and 2010, making it one of the largest increases in a state's Hispanic population. The significant growth of the Hispanic population is due to immigration to the state mainly from Puerto Rico, which is a US territory, but to a lesser extent from countries such as the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and various Central and South American nations, as well as from the wave of Hispanics leaving New York and New Jersey for safer and more affordable living.
*The majority of Hispanics in Pennsylvania are of '''Puerto Rican''' descent, having one of the largest and fastest-growing Puerto Rican populations in the country. Most of the remaining Hispanic population is made up of '''Mexicans and Dominicans'''. Most Hispanics are concentrated in Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley and South Central Pennsylvania. <ref name="Penn"/>
==Immigration Records==
'''Immigration''' refers to people coming into a country. '''Emigration''' refers to people leaving a country to go to another.  Immigration records usually take the form of ship's '''passenger lists''' collected at the port of entry. See [[Pennsylvania Emigration and Immigration#Online Resources|'''Online Resources'''.]]
