The following findings are summarized: (1) there is a lack of consensus on the ethnic identifier for Hispanics with Colorado Hispanics indicating a preference for Spanish-American and Mexican-American; (2) Colorado Hispanics are more likely than Hispanics in other Southwestern states to be born in the United States; (3) compared to a general sample of Coloradans, Hispanics also identified employment and jobs as the major issues facing Colorado but Hispanics were more concerned about basic social issues that impacted their daily lives, such as education, crime, substance abuse, and racism/discrimination.
