Analysis: District 3 Hispanic Population Up Significantly Since 2000

County Council district 3 experienced "moderate to large" increases in its Hispanic population and corresponding decreases in its African-American population over the previous decade, according to an analysis from the Urban Institute.

The study, based on U.S. Census and American Community Survey data, looked at demographic shifts in Prince George's County between 2000 and 2010.

District 3 — which includes University Park, Riverdale Park, and Riverdale Heights and Hills — saw "small to moderate" decreases in real income and decreases in education levels during the same stretch, the institute reports.

County-wide, the African-American population grew 10 percent, the Hispanic population grew 127 percent, and the non-Hispanic white population fell by 34 percent over the course of the decade.
