Demographics are a Bitch
- I am already a proud minority group member here in the People's Republic of California. Some 62% of the population of the Golden State is Latino, Black, Asian or Native American.
- As a minority I can never again be called a racist. So there are some perks.
According to a new U.S. Census Bureau report released Tuesday, more than half (50.2%) of the nation’s children are expected to be a part of a minority race or ethnic group by 2020.
Entitled “Projections of the Size and Composition of the U.S. Population: 2014 to 2060,” the report examines the total U.S. population, native and foreign born.
Other major findings include the following:
- The total U.S. population is projected to increase by 98.1 million between 2014 and 2060, from an estimated 319 million to 417 million respectively.
- By 2030, all baby boomers will have reached age 65 or older.
- The percent of foreign born is expected to increase each decade, its rate of growth projected to outpace that of natives.
- By 2044, the U.S. population as a whole is expected to become majority-minority.
- By 2060, the nation’s foreign-born will reach nearly one in five of the total population, from 13 percent in 2014 to 19 percent.
- Also by the year 2060, an estimated 36 percent of children (people under age 18) will be "single-race non-Hispanic White," compared with 52 percent today.
