Abstract
This paper explores Latino urban migration to Green Bay, Wisconsin, an intermediate size city of approximately 100,000 people. According to the census of 1990 there were approximately 1,500 Latinos living in Brown County with 1,000 ofthese living in the city of Green Bay. By 1997, estimates of the Latino population in Green Bay are from 6,000 to 7,000. Such a growth rate makes Latinos the fastest growing minority group in the city. The paper explores the nature of the migration process within the spatial and temporal context of Latino presence in the major urban centers of Wisconsin, and analyzes settlement tendencies within the city. The paper concludes with linking this trend to urban political and economic implications and policy issues for city planners and administrators.
