Population Density by Race, 2000-2010

 

Of the 656,822 more people in the state of Tennessee in 2010 compared to 10 years ago, 166,221 or 25% of those are of Hispanic origin. Race and ethnicity are two separate classification systems according to the Census Bureau; Hispanics can be of any race. For this report, we have separated Hispanics of all races from the rest of the population and report them side-by-side with the other races. The largest share of the population growth, 45%, was due to respondents indicating their race was White alone, and 19% of the population growth was due to African American alone. Other races or combinations of races accounted for the remaining 11%. With respect to the total 2010 population of Tennessee, Whites made up 76%, African Americans made up 17%, Hispanics made up 5%, and other races or combinations of races made up 3%. In 2000, those same percentages where Whites 80%, African Americans 16%, Hispanics 2%, and other races or combination of races 3%. The figures present the distribution of population by race for 2000 and 2010.

A quarter of the population increase is of Hispanic origin.
