Hispanics of Cuban Origin in the United States: Summary

According to the Pew Research Center report from 2015, the number of Hispanics of Cuban origin in the U.S. increased significantly between 1980 and 2013, with an estimated 2 million people in 2013, nearly doubling from 822,000 in 1980. Nearly 78% of the growth was in the foreign-born population, rising from 636,000 to 1.1 million. Comparative to all U.S. Hispanics (34.6 million in 2013), Cubans make up 3.7% and are the third-largest Hispanic group. Key characteristics include: higher median age (40 years vs. 28 for all Hispanics), greater English proficiency (60% speak English very well), and higher educational attainment (25% have a college degree). Economically, their median income was $25,000 in 2013, higher than other Hispanic groups but lower than the U.S. population. Poverty rates were 20%, still somewhat higher than the U.S. average. Regarding identity, most Cubans (63%) prefer the term "Cuban," while identifying more as "American" than younger Hispanics. Religious affiliation shows strong Catholic (49%) and lower rates of other faiths compared to all Hispanics.
