If I remember correctly, Hispanic whites were only first counted in
the 2000 census, thus they were not included as a racial category in
the 1960 census. The census data I found for 1960 did not list
Hispanic whites as a racial category. Is it OK to omit that category
in answering your question for the 1960 data?

By Dade county, do you mean Miami-Dade county? A list of Florida
counties for the 2000 census does not list Dade as a county, while the
1960 census does.

I would prefer 1960 data including Hispanic whites, however, if that
is not available I will take the informatin you have already found.
Also, by Dade County, I do mean Miami-Dade County for purposes of the
2000 census. Thanks.

I was able to find:
Population by county in Florida in 1960 for African-Americans, whites,
and total population.
Population by county in Florida in 2000 for African-Americans,
Hispanics, non-Hispanic whites.
Population by census tract for Miami-Dade county in 2000, separated by
race.
However, I wasn't able to find:
Population by county in Florida in 1960 for Hispanics.
Population by census tract for Miami-Dade county in 1960, separated by
race.
I hope another researcher will be able to find more information for
you,
Regards,

I can do without the miami-dade/dade stuff, but I need the hispanic
information if that is available for florida. If it doesn't exist,
then i'll just have to do with out.

According to this page:
http://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0029/twps0029.html,
Hispanic Origin was not recorded until the 1970 census, thus any data
available prior to that must be unofficial.

"Data for the Hispanic origin category are available since 1970, and
data for the category of White, not of Hispanic origin are included
also since 1970. Individuals of Hispanic origin, the vast majority of
whom report themselves by race as White or as "Other race," may be of
any race."

If you can find unofficial information for 1960, that would be great.
If not, just provide the information you have for 1960, which I
understand will not include Hispanic origin. By the way, I no longer
need the info for Miami-Dade. Thanks :)

Hello daisy57,
Thank you for your question.
I have made an Excel file of the 1960 data at
http://www.lucidmatrix.com/uploads/1960data.xls . It contains data
for each county in Florida for the 1960 census. If you do not have
Microsoft Excel or would like the file in another format, please let
me know.
For the 2000 census information, you can view it here:
http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/DTTable?_ts=49581018218. Since
the 2000 census allows people to specify more than one race, I do not
know how you would use this data, so the link I sent you is raw data,
if you'd like me to process it further, please let me know.
I haven't been able to locate any data regarding Hispanics in the 1960
census. But if I run across any, I will let you know.
Even though you no longer need the census tract data for Miami-Dade
county, I am supplying it here just in case you change your mind (the
data is for the 2000 census):
http://www.co.miami-dade.fl.us/planzone/census2k/Tract2000.PDF
I hope that answered your question, if you need clarification or the
data in another format, please use the request for clarification
feature before rating this answer.
Thanks,

My apologies! The 2000 data table link was a temporary link. I have
made an Excel file of that data here:
http://www.lucidmatrix.com/uploads/2000data.xls
These files will be removed in 30 days, so please download them first.

For hispanic, i need a chart that has "other" or "other race" on it,
because I am able to substitute that for hispanic. (for 1600)

I meant for 1960, not 1600.

daisy57,
I have posted the complete data file for the 1960 census that I have
at http://www.lucidmatrix.com/uploads/1960data_revised.xls. If you'd
like me to process the data and display it in another way, please let
me know. All the "other" races do not seem to be Hispanic. Also,
most Hispanics in the 1960 census would have selected "White" or
"Black" as their category, since Hispanics can come from any country
in Central and South America.
