As Hispanic population explodes in U.S., so too will their need for long-term care | PBS NewsHour

As Hispanic population explodes in U.S., so too will their need for long-term care | PBS NewsHour: By 2060, nearly one in three U.S. residents will be Hispanic. That population is expected to more than double from the current 53 million to nearly 129 million. And as a group, Hispanics are projected to make up more than a fifth of the 65 U.S. population by 2060.

The non-Hispanic white population will peak in a decade at almost 200 million. But unlike other groups, it's projected to slowly decrease through 2060.
