New Hanover County is home to a diverse and growing community of more than 230,000 residents, that includes nearly 15,000 Hispanic/Latinx individuals. In the last year this population increased by nearly 2% and is estimated to double that growth over the next five to seven years. Because of the increased growth and language access needs The New Hanover County Office of Diversity and Equity (D&E) decided to produce a bi-lingual YouTube show “Su Condado,” (Your County) in 2021. The purpose of the show is to promote an inclusive message about our values where our Hispanic/Latinx residents feel respected, valued, and included, as well as be informed of resources and services that are available to them.
