Driven by a single-year surge of 24% in Hispanic enrollment, the overall number of 18- to 24-year-olds attending college in the United States hit an all-time high of 12.2 million in October 2010, according to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis of recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
College-age Hispanics accounted for 1.8 million, or 15%, of the overall enrollment of young adults in two- or four-year colleges in 2010 -- setting records both for their number and share of young college students. More Hispanic young adults enrolled in college from 2009 to 2010 than young blacks and young Asian Americans. The number of young whites enrolling in college decreased during that period.
