About 522,000 Hispanics reside in Pennsylvania, 1% of all Hispanics in the United States. There are 261,000 eligible Hispanic voters in Pennsylvania, about 1.5% of all U.S. Hispanic eligible voters.[1. In this fact sheet, eligible voters are defined as U.S. citizens ages 18 and older. Eligible voters are not the same as registered voters. To cast a vote, in all states except North Dakota, an eligible voter must first register to vote.] This fact sheet provides key demographic information on Latino eligible voters.[2. The terms \u201cHispanic\u201d and \u201cLatino\u201d are used interchangeably. References to \u201cwhites\u201d and \u201cblacks\u201d are to the non-Hispanic components of those populations.] It also contains data on other major groups of eligible voters in Pennsylvania, with comparative data for the U.S. All data are from the Census Bureau\u2019s 2006 American Community Survey.[3. The specific data set used to derive estimates contained in this fact sheet are from the University of Minnesota\u2019s Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) for the 2006 American Community Survey (1% sample). Information can be found on the following Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/usa.ipums.org\/usa\/\">http:\/\/usa.ipums.org\/usa\/<\/a>. The estimates in this fact sheet are subject to sampling error. Also, estimates in this fact sheet will differ from estimates that may be published by the Census Bureau because of differences between the data used by the Census Bureau and the data it has released for public use.
