New Mexico Racial Breakdown of Population



Races and Ethnics of New Mexico
When we carefully look at the historical map of New Mexico, we see it as a Mexican, or let's say Spanish land ( It was called New Spain in the history). And today, it's part of the United Staes of America but the demography doesn't say so.

Firstly, New Mexico is a majority-minority state, which means population is composed of less than 50% non-Hispanic whites.

According to 2015 figures, 48% of the total population was Hispanic or Latino. This is the highest of any state in the US.
