Latinos account for nearly one in seven hate-crime victims in the United States, according to a new analysis of FBI hate-crime data, underscoring how anti-Hispanic bias remains a national threat even as the country's Latino population continues to grow.
The analysis, based on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting hate-crime statistics and U.S. Census Bureau population data from 2021 through 2025, found wide disparities in where anti-Hispanic incidents are reported most often. Some states with large Latino populations recorded relatively low rates, while smaller states with fewer Hispanic residents showed sharply higher rates per capita.
