In the 2010s, Hispanic population growth slowed down due to a massive decline in immigration from Latin America as well as a large decline in birth rates; Asians became the fastest growing demographic group. A much higher proportion of Hispanics choose mixed race rather than white in the 2020 census as compared to previous censuses. Hispanics accounted for 51.1% of population growth between 2010-2020 and 56% between 2000 and 2010.

The proportion of the population which is Hispanic increased at least slightly in every state. Growth was slowest in the states with large historical Mexican American and Hispano populations including New Mexico, California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas and Colorado where relative growth in population proportion was 5% or less compared to 15% nationally. Growth was highest in states which historically lacked a Hispanic population continuing the trend of intrastate migration for mostly lower wage jobs in the 21st century by Hispanics. These states include North Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Maine where relative growth in population proportion was over 50%. Pennsylvania, with a Hispanic population of 0.1% in 1940, saw a greater numeric increase in the Hispanic population than Arizona; with a Hispanic population of 20.4% in 1940.
