Answer:

The South

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from 2000 to 2010, the Hispanic Population in the South grew by 57%.

Florida continues to attract a large number of Hispanic immigrants, specially from Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Mexico, Spain, and Puerto Rico.

In Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, South Carolina and North Carolina, the Hispanic population more than doubled, however, in all of these states, Hispanics are still less than 10% of the total population, so there are not as noticeable as in New Mexico, California, Texas, Florida or Arizona.
