In two Census 2000 related stories, Sandoval and Wilkerson look at the growth of the Hispanic population in Allentown, Pa. Local Latino leaders believe the growth in population numbers was predictable, and the reason behind the increase in Census numbers was increased efforts to reach Latino communities.
