Population Hispanic % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Iowa

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Hispanic population concentrations in Iowa cluster most visibly in the western part of the state, particularly in a zip code near Storm Lake/Denison area where percentages reach approximately 35-45%, and in scattered meatpacking and agricultural processing communities such as those near Marshalltown, Columbus Junction, and West Liberty in the southeast. The northwest corner of the state also displays elevated Hispanic percentages across multiple adjacent zip codes, suggesting a regional labor market effect rather than isolated pockets. The vast majority of Iowa's zip codes, particularly across the rural eastern and southern tiers, remain below 5% Hispanic population, creating a stark contrast with the handful of high-concentration communities tied to food processing industries.
