The Hispanic population is composed of those that identify with a “Spanish-speaking background and trace their origin or descent from…Spanish-speaking countries.” This community is a growing one in the state of Florida. As of 2019, Hispanics make 26% of the state’s population, making them a key demographic in Floridian elections. Ergo, understanding Hispanic voters’ behavior in Florida is crucial for future elections. For starters, certain social factors have been related to voter behavior. The factors considered in this project are the voter’s generation, zip code population density, zip code income and Hispanic group in relation to their voter activity and voter party affiliation. Of all the factors, only generations and Hispanic groups affected both voter activity and voter party affiliation. Voter activity was also influenced by zip code income, while voter party affiliation was also influenced by zip code population density.
