According to a 2013 U.S. Census Bureau report, there are over 700,000 people from diverse communities living in Minnesota.  Although this is a large number, this figure is thought to be significantly low as it does not include any undocumented, illegal or unreported immigrants.

From 2000 to 2005, 68,929 immigrants moved to Minnesota.  More immigrants arrived in Minnesota in 2005 than in any of the previous 25 years, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Minnesota’s non-white and Latino populations are projected to grow substantially faster than the white population.  Between 2005 and 2010 showed a state population gain of 225,000 – 38% of the total gain was among the non-white and Latino population according to the Minnesota State Demographers.
