Many of you might be interested in the Oregon Community Foundation’s Latinos in Oregon Report<http://www.oregoncf.org/news-resources/press-releases/current/latinos-in-oregon-report-august-2016>. Here are a few things from the report of interest to schools and public library youth services:

·         Nearly one-third of Oregon’s Latinos still lack health insurance, fewer Latinas receive adequate prenatal care than white women, and the Latina teen pregnancy rate is double the rate for white teens.

·         Oregon Latinos are significantly younger than white Oregonians. The median age for Latinos is 24 years, compared to 41 years for the white population.

·         In schools, more Latino students are graduating, but the achievement gap between Latino and white students starts early and persists.
