By Fox News Latino

The Hispanic population of the United States increased sixfold between 1970 and 2012 to more than 53 million, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center.

In the report released Wednesday, Pew analyzed Census data and found that California’s Los Angeles County, with 4.76 million Hispanics, is home to almost 9 percent of the Latinos living in the United States.

But that county is in fourth place among the counties with the largest percentage of Hispanics. In Florida’s Miami-Dade County, 65 percent of the population is Hispanic, while Latinos make up nearly 59 percent of the population of Bexar County, Texas.
