GROWTH IN MARYLAND’S HISPANIC POPULATION
Hispanics had both the largest numeric gain and the largest percentage increase in population in Maryland over the 2000 to 2012 period. During this 12-year period, the Hispanic population grew by just over 284,000, or almost 125 percent.

GROWTH IN MARYLAND’S HISPANIC POPULATION
But because the growth of Hispanics in Maryland is a recent phenomenon, the Hispanic share of the overall population is only just over 8 percent in 2012, although for two jurisdictions, Montgomery (17.0%) and Prince George’s (15.0%) counties, it’s much higher.

MARYLAND’S VOTING-ELIGIBLE HISPANIC POPULATION
While Hispanics are a growing share of the State’s population, they are not yet proportionately represented in the voting-eligible population because they tend to 1) have a higher proportion of their population under age 18, and 2) a majority of Hispanics statewide over the age of 18 are not citizens.

MARYLAND’S VOTING ELIGIBLE HISPANIC POPULATION
Therefore, while Hispanics make up just over 8 percent of Maryland’s overall population, they make up 7 percent of those 18 and over, and just under 4 percent of those who are age 18 and over and who are citizens.
For Montgomery County, where Hispanics make up more than one out of six of the total population, those eligible to vote are less than one out of 10. For Prince George’s County, Hispanics are 15 percent of the total population but only a bit more than 5 percent of the voting eligible population.

MARYLAND’S VOTING-ELIGIBLE HISPANIC POPULATION
In the next couple of decades, however, Hispanics will become a greater force in the electorate, as those under age 18 become 18 and over, and since the vast majority of those now under age 18 are already citizens (89.7%).
