How We Determined The Most Hispanic Large Cities in The US

When we analyze the demographics of a city, we simply look at statistics. In particular, we use Saturday Night Science to compare the recently released 2020-2024 American Community Survey for a detailed breakdown of race by city.

Specifically, we looked at table B03002, which has the breakdown of people by Hispanic/Latino and race.

Limiting our analysis to only cities greater than 100,000 people, we looked at the percentage of the population of each city that identified as non-Hispanic/Latino, Hispanic.

We then ranked each city from 1 to 270 in terms of that percentage, with the city having the highest overall percentage being named the “City In America with the Largest Hispanic American population” — East Los Angeles, CA, . We updated this article for 2026. This article is our eleventh time ranking the cities in America with the highest Hispanic population.

The “least Hispanic American” city according to the data? That would be Jackson, MS, < which is only 2.4% Hispanic American as of the latest data.
