So, How Many Hispanics Are We Talkin' About in Oklahoma? ️
Howdy, partners! Ever wondered just how many amigos and amigas are spicing things up in Oklahoma? Well, buckle up, 'cause we're about to answer that question, and let me tell you, it's getting hotter than a habanero pepper on a July day!
The Numbers Don't Lie (But Sometimes They Take a Siesta)
According to the latest census reports (which, let's be honest, can take longer to roll in than a wagon train crossing the prairie), as of 2021, there were nearly 470,000 Hispanic and Latino folks calling Oklahoma home. That's a fiesta-sized chunk of the population, clocking in at around 11.7%.
So, Where's the Fiesta at?
Now, these amigos aren't exactly huddled together like sardines in a can. Oklahoma City and Tulsa are the main hubs, but don't be surprised to find pockets of Hispanic culture poppin' up in places like Lawton, Norman, and even Guymon (yeehaw!).
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Fun Fact Alert!
Did you know that Mexicans make up the biggest chunk of Oklahoma's Hispanic population? But our friends from Puerto Rico are also moseyin' on in, especially near military bases like Fort Sill and Tinker Field. Seems like they develop a taste for Oklahoma hospitality and decide to stick around!
