The Latin American population is on the rise in many parts of the country. Oregon is seeing its own shifts in population, and this piece takes a look at whats driving the changes.
"Beth Hyams: What areas of Oregon saw the greatest increases in Latino population?

Charles Rynerson 'The Latino population doubled in Linn County. Hispanic share is still smaller than the state's, at about eight percent in Linn County, compared with 12% statewide.'"
