Top 100 counties by Hispanic army recruits per 1000 Hispanic youth, 2005
The table below shows the top 100 counties in the U.S. according to Hispanic active-duty Army recruits per 1000 Hispanic youth. The data and statistics are for counties with five or more recruits in fiscal year 2005. Recruits according to ZIP code were obtained from the Army through a FOIA request submitted by NPP, and were placed into counties using Claritas data for 2005 purchased by NPP. Population numbers are from 2005 U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. Perceived ties are due to rounding.
