Florida is not as popular as it used to be among non-Hispanic whites

Florida is not as popular as it used to be among whites who are not Hispanic, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report. As recently as 2005 the state held the No. 1 spot for growth among non-Hispanic whites, but the report shows a major shift to the 29th spot. Latest figures show Florida had the third-highest increase in Hispanics between 2006 and 2007. The Hispanic population grew by about 131,000, with only Texas and California drawing higher numbers. Florida's black population increased as well, growing 43,000. It is third behind Texas. Georgia ranked highest.
