Ohio’s Hispanic Population: 354,674
The Hispanic community makes up 3.1 percent of Ohio’s total population with significant growth occurring during the last decade. Since 2000 the number of Hispanic Ohioans has increased by 63 percent. In 1980 there were less than 120,000 Hispanics in Ohio, making up 1.1 percent of the state’s total population.
The majority of Hispanic Ohioans live in urban areas of the state. Three out of every ten Hispanic Ohioans live in one of the three cities of Cleveland, Columbus, or Toledo. In Columbus there are 44,400 Hispanic residents, in Cleveland there are 39,500, and in Toledo there are 21,200 Hispanic residents. However, the Hispanic population makes up a higher proportion of county populations in the north and northwest sections of Ohio, many of which are rural in nature.
