- America is becoming more diverse by race and ethnicity. Non-Hispanic whites are shrinking in population, while all other race and ethnic groups grew between July 1, 2016, and July 1, 2017.
- Non-Hispanic white alone population decreased .02% to 197.8 million.
- The non-Hispanic white alone population is projected to continue aging and decline in terms of size.
- The Hispanic population increased 2.1% to 58.9 million, and made up 18.1% of the nation’s total population in 2017. The gain was primarily due to natural increases (the difference between births and deaths), not net migration.
- California had the largest Hispanic population at 15.5 million.
- More blacks or African-American moved to Clark County, Nevada, the county holding Las Vegas, than to any other county (14,000).
- The black or African-American population increased 1.2% to 47.4 million.
- The Asian population, the fastest-growing racial group in the nation, increased 3.1% to 22.2 million. Their increase is primarily due to net migration.
- In Hawaii, Asians represented a majority of the population
