Our region (HHS Region 5, covering IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, and WI) is home to a large Hispanic and Latino population: according to the U.S. Census, between 2000 and 2010, the Hispanic population grew by 49% in the Midwest. Minnesota and Wisconsin are home to the nation's second and third-largest Hmong populations. Minnesota and Ohio are also home to large Somali communities. And more than 30 federally-recognized American Indian Tribes reside in HHS Region 5.
