Source: Census data summarized by HVCEO. Terms vary slightly from census to census. For 2000, the terms "Hispanic and Latino" refer to people who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire- "Mexican," "Puerto Rican," or "Cuban" -  as well as those who indicate that they are "Other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino." Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.

Note that the US Census does not include Brazilians as part of its Hispanic or Latino categories, as Brazilians speak Portuguese.
