The Latino community in Iowa is essential to the state's growth — it has grown more than 13-fold since 1969 to 7% of Iowa's population and is projected to more than double to 408,000 people by 2050, according to the Iowa Latinx Project. It also is the youngest of Iowa's racial or ethnic groups, with a median age of 23.7 compared to 41.5 for the white population.
