U.S. Metros Are Ground Zero for Majority-Minority Populations
More than half of all babies now born in America are minorities. Here's how that's already playing out at the metropolitan level.
New population estimates were recently released by the U.S. Census Bureau showing that, for the first time, the majority of Americans under the age of 1 are minorities. Or more specifically that white, non-Hispanic babies now make up less than half of the population younger than 1.
It's part of a demographic shift that's expected to create a minority-majority nationwide population sometime within the next 40 or 50 years. California, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Texas have already passed that threshold at the state level.
