Census: Manatee less white since 2000
MANATEE — Manatee County has become slightly younger, a little more masculine, more racially diverse and a lot more Hispanic so far this decade, according to Census estimates to be released today.
The county’s Hispanic and Asian populations have nearly doubled, its median age has fallen by a few months and males narrowed their numerical gap with females between 2000 and mid-2008, the figures show.
The Census’ July 1, 2008, statistical snapshot of Manatee largely mirrored Florida, which has steadily become more ethnically and racially diverse, demographers said.
“These are trends that have been going on for a while, and (Manatee) is not much different than Florida as a whole,” said Stefan Rayer of the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research in Gainesville.
