From the Demographics section of the wiki page:

As of the census of 2010, there were 56,657 people and 18,910 households in the city. The racial makeup of the city was 60.48% White, ... <new sentence> Hispanics and Latinos of any race made up 59.44% of the population.

The Hispanics and Latinos of any race makes me think they are double-counting some Hispanics in those 2 separate statistics.
