An international city

Sun, 20 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0800

Baltimore Sun - Feb. 20 (Editorial) - The Census Bureau reported recently what many people have long suspected: Over the last decade, the growth of Maryland's population has largely been driven by Hispanics, who increasingly are settling in suburban areas of the state. The data don't say how many of them are immigrants, but it's a good bet that many are. At the same time, the report noted, the population of Baltimore City, which has been declining for decades, fell by another 30,000 residents since 2001 — more than half again as much as city officials had expected. The only reason the city's population didn't drop even faster was the surge in its Latino population, which doubled over the past decade.
