US national debt ：31trillion

China is doing great because it is a pure country, It can make people have one children or it can just as easily make people have 5 children each. Thats willpower and collectivism which puts the country first and foremost. China culture/language and demograpphics will never be replaced by outsiders.

US/UK/Germany/France will be replaced by brown/blacks third worlders who will turn those countries into third world countries just like what they did to Brazil and South Africa. Replace the whites (who are woke lazy gender queers and not hard workers like their grandparents) and having a culture of independence (selfishness to put oneself before country/god/family) is a recipe for disaster. The simple fact that US is legalising drugs and promoting bisexualism and homosexuality and making it cool is degradation of society away from conservative christian values. US white values are being replaced by Drug seeking/gender bending/hedonistic sexual pleasuring values. Plus in the near future 2040 US whites will be minorities and the country will become a divided nation which will eventually result in South Africa type of nation state.

Quoted to preserve as a gem of racist wisdom.

US is a self sufficient nation. Prices will not rise.

US inflation has gone crazy and its in a recession. Its a country run on gang violence, ethnic tensions, right wing vs left wing extremism and ever growing levels of poverty. I am just pointing out the truth, Show me that the US can pay off its debts and stop being by far the largest concentration camp for blacks/latinos and we can have a chat about self sufficient nation.

Quoted to preserve as a gem of racist wisdom.

US promotes culture of black/brown people of drug seeking behavior = cool, gang violence = cool, serving prison time = cool. White conservatives = racist supremacists who should be destroyed in their mainstream media. The total erosion of tradition american values into values of hedonism, sexualism, bisexualism/homosexuality, gender bending etc is only going to get worse as whites become minorities in 18yrs time. Just imagine in 50 years time, Whites will be 20% minority and the country will be south africa 2.0.

A Small US state created by Americans in Africa called Liberia now has gangs of transgender methed out cannibals roaming the streets raping and eating anyone they can find. Just study Liberia and you will know what the future holds for America since all Liberian leaders/cultural leaders came from the US to set up an American like nation.

DNA of a nation is the most important aspect of a nation. If a nation keeps its DNA, they can rebound from anything (Germany loss in ww1 turns Germany into superpower in ww2). But if nation loses its DNA and culture, then that nation is gone forever.

 

[VCheng]

Just imagine in 50 years time, Whites will be 20% minority and the country will be south africa 2.0

You may wish that, but it is not likely to happen.

Quoted to preserve as a gem of racist wisdom.

I don't know why you are talking about to someone who have no idea what is "Hispanic White" and "Non-Hispanic White" (both counted as White American) and saying US white population will be replaced by Black and Asian in 2040.

James David Rodriguez

White population in the US are about 72%, if the current trend of population diversion is to follow, it will be at least 2199 for White population to be replaced as majority.

 

[Abdul Rehman Majeed]

You may wish that, but it is not likely to happen.

Currently whites are only 60%. They will become a minority in the next 15 years as baby boomers die.

2020 Census Illuminates Racial and Ethnic Composition of the Country​

Background​

The 2020 Census used the required two separate questions (one for Hispanic or Latino origin and one for race) to collect the races and ethnicities of the U.S. population — following the standards set by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1997.
Building upon our research over the past decade, we improved the two separate questions design and updated our data processing and coding procedures for the 2020 Census.
This work began in 2015 with our research and testing centered on findings from our 2015 National Content Test and the designs were implemented in the 2018 Census Test.
The improvements and changes enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people self-identify, yielding a more accurate portrait of how people report their Hispanic origin and race within the context of a two-question format.
These changes reveal that the U.S. population is much more multiracial and more diverse than what we measured in the past.
We are confident that differences in the overall racial distributions are largely due to improvements in the design of the two separate questions for race data collection and processing as well as some demographic changes over the past 10 years.
We are also confident, as shown in our research over the past decade, that using a single combined question for race and ethnicity in the decennial census would ultimately yield an even more accurate portrait of how the U.S. population self-identifies, especially for people who self-identify as multiracial or multiethnic.




Today’s release of 2020 Census redistricting data provides a new snapshot of the racial and ethnic composition of the country as a result of improvements in the design of the race and ethnicity questions, processing and coding.
Nearly all groups saw population gains this decade and the increase in the Two or More Races population (referred to throughout this story as the Multiracial population) was especially large (up 276%). The White alone population declined by 8.6% since 2010.



The 2020 Census shows (Figures 1, 2 and 3):

• The White population remained the largest race or ethnicity group in the United States, with 204.3 million people identifying as White alone. Overall, 235.4 million people reported White alone or in combination with another group. However, the White alone population decreased by 8.6% since 2010.
• The Multiracial population has changed considerably since 2010. It was measured at 9 million people in 2010 and is now 33.8 million people in 2020, a 276% increase.
• The “in combination” multiracial populations for all race groups accounted for most of the overall changes in each racial category.
• All of the race alone or in combination groups experienced increases. The Some Other Race alone or in combination group (49.9 million) increased 129% surpassing the Black or African American population (46.9 million) as the second-largest race alone or in combination group.
• The next largest racial populations were the Asian alone or in combination group (24 million), the American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination group (9.7 million), and the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in combination group (1.6 million).
• The Hispanic or Latino population, which includes people of any race, was 62.1 million in 2020. The Hispanic or Latino population grew 23%, while the population that was not of Hispanic or Latino origin grew 4.3% since 2010.

It is important to note that these data comparisons between the 2020 Census and 2010 Census race data should be made with caution, taking into account the improvements we have made to the Hispanic origin and race questions and the ways we code what people tell us.



Nearly all groups saw population gains this decade and the increase in the Two or More Races population (referred to throughout this story as the Multiracial population) was especially large (up 276%). The White alone population declined by 8.6% since 2010.



Accordingly, data from the 2020 Census show different but reasonable and expected distributions from the 2010 Census for the White alone population, the Some Other Race alone or in combination population and the Multiracial population, especially for people who self-identify as both White and Some Other Race.
These results are not surprising as they align with our expert research and corresponding findings this past decade, particularly with the results from the 2015 National Content Test, about the impacts of question format on race and ethnicity reporting.
To present the results, we use the concepts of race alone, race in combination, and race alone or in combination to frame the discussion of racial and ethnic composition, and these three concepts are central to understanding our country’s changing demographics.
In addition, we have a companion data visualization that expands on these statistics, providing a comprehensive overview of racial and ethnic composition at national, state and county levels.
This story highlights national-level data. Data for all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are available in our interactive data visualization.

Data Visualizations​

Race and Ethnicity in the United States: 2010 Census and 2020 Census
U.S. Decennial Census Measurement of Race and Ethnicity Across the Decades: 1790–2020

Hispanic or Latino Population​

The Hispanic or Latino population grew from 50.5 million (16.3% of the U.S. population) in 2010 to 62.1 million (18.7%) in 2020.

• Between 2010 and 2020, the Hispanic or Latino population grew by 23%.
• Slightly more than half (51.1%) of the total U.S. population growth between 2010 and 2020 came from growth in the Hispanic or Latino population.

White Population​

Overall, 235.4 million people reported White alone or in combination with another group.

• The White alone population accounted for 204.3 million people and 61.6% of all people living in the United States, compared with 223.6 million and 72.4% in 2010.
• Together with the 31.1 million people who identified as White in combination with another race group, such as Black or African American or Asian, the White alone or in combination population comprised 235.4 million people and 71% of the total population.
• Although the White alone population decreased by 8.6% since 2010, the White in combination population saw a 316% increase during the same period.

The observed changes in the White population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

Black or African American Population​

The Black or African American in combination population grew by 88.7% since 2010.

• In 2020, the Black or African American alone population (41.1 million) accounted for 12.4% of all people living in the United States, compared with 38.9 million and 12.6% in 2010.
• Coupled with the 5.8 million respondents who identified as Black or African American in combination with another race group, such as White or American Indian and Alaska Native, the Black or African American alone or in combination population totaled 46.9 million people (14.2% of the total population) in 2020.
• While the Black or African American alone population grew 5.6% since 2010, the Black or African American in combination population grew 88.7%.

American Indian and Alaska Native Population​

From 2010 to 2020, the American Indian and Alaska Native in combination population increased by 160%.

• In 2020, the American Indian and Alaska Native alone population (3.7 million) accounted for 1.1% of all people living in the United States, compared with 0.9% (2.9 million) in 2010.
• An additional 5.9 million people identified as American Indian and Alaska Native and another race group in 2020, such as White or Black or African American. Together, the American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination population comprised 9.7 million people (2.9% of the total population) in 2020, up from 5.2 million (1.7%) in 2010.
• The American Indian and Alaska Native alone population grew by 27.1%, and the American Indian and Alaska Native in combination population grew by 160% since 2010.

Asian Population​

Approximately 19.9 million people (6% of all respondents) identified as Asian alone in 2020, up from 14.7 million people (4.8%) in 2010.

• Coupled with the 4.1 million respondents who identified as Asian in combination with another race group, such as White or Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, the Asian alone or in combination population comprised 24 million people (7.2% of the total population).
• The Asian alone population grew by 35.5% between 2010 and 2020. In comparison, the Asian in combination population grew by 55.5%.

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Population​

Over half of Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders identified with more than one race.

• In the 2020 Census, 689,966 people (0.2%) identified as Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, up from 540,013 people (0.2%) in 2010.
• Coupled with the 896,497 people who identified as Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander in combination with another race group (such as Asian or White), the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in combination population totaled about 1.6 million people and 0.5% of the total population.
• The Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone population grew by 27.8% between 2010 and 2020. In comparison, the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander in combination population grew faster — 30.8% since 2010.

Some Other Race Population​

The Some Other Race population was the second-largest alone or in combination race group, comprising 15.1% of the total population.

• About 27.9 million people (8.4% of all respondents) identified as Some Other Race alone in 2020, up from 19.1 million people (6.2%) in 2010.
• Coupled with the 22 million respondents who identified as Some Other Race in combination with another race group (such as White or Black or African American), the Some Other Race alone or in combination population comprised 49.9 million people.
• The Some Other Race alone population changed 46.1% and the Some Other Race in combination population changed 733% since 2010.
• Approximately 45.3 million people of Hispanic or Latino origin were classified as Some Other Race either alone or in combination, compared with only 4.6 million people who were not of Hispanic or Latino origin. Nearly all of those who were classified as Some Other Race alone were of Hispanic or Latino origin (26.2 million out of 27.9 million, or 93.9%).

The observed changes in the Some Other Race population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

Multiracial Population​

In 2020, the percentage of people who reported multiple races changed more than all of the race alone groups, increasing from 2.9% of the population (9 million people) in 2010 to 10.2% of the population (33.8 million people) in 2020.

• The largest Multiracial combinations in 2020 were White and Some Other Race (19.3 million), White and American Indian and Alaska Native (4 million), White and Black or African American (3.1 million), White and Asian (2.7 million), and Black or African American and Some Other Race (1 million).
• Between 2010 and 2020, the White and Some Other Race population added 17.6 million people to the Multiracial population, a change of over 1,000%.
• The White and American Indian and Alaska Native population also increased, growing by about 2.5 million people or 177%.
• The White and Black or African American population increased by 1.2 million people, a 67.4% change.
• The White and Asian population increased by 1.1 million people, a 65.8% change in size.
• The Black or African American and Some Other Race population increased by 722,383 people, a 230% change.

The observed changes in the Multiracial population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing, and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

Hispanic or Latino Origin by Race​

Another way to examine data on race and ethnicity is to cross-tabulate Hispanic or Latino origin by race. As we saw with the 2010 Census, many Hispanic or Latino respondents answered the separate question on race by reporting their race as “Mexican,” “Hispanic,” “Latin American,” “Puerto Rican,” etc.
These and other responses to the race question that reflect a Hispanic or Latino origin were classified in the Some Other Race category, as people of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race per the 1997 OMB standards.
Between 2010 and 2020, the number of people of Hispanic or Latino origin reporting more than one race increased 567% from 3 million (6.0%) to 20.3 million (32.7%) (Figure 4).
We are confident these differences in racial distributions were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing, and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

• In 2020, among people of Hispanic or Latino origin, 26.2 million people (42.2%) identified their race as Some Other Race alone, a 41.7% change from 2010.
• The number of people of Hispanic or Latino origin who identified as White alone decreased by 52.9%, down from 26.7 million to 12.6 million over the decade.
• The number of people who were not of Hispanic or Latino origin who identified as White alone declined at a slower rate, with a -2.6% change.

Race and Hispanic Origin by Age Group​

The 2020 Census data also enable us to examine the racial and ethnic composition of the population under age 18 (children) and the population age 18 and over (adults) (Figure 5).
The racial and ethnic composition among children is quite different from adults. This comparison offers insights into the demographics of younger generations in this country and glimpses of what the future may bring.

• The White alone adult population (age 18 and over) went from 74.7% in 2010 to 64.1% in 2020. In contrast, the Multiracial adult population increased from 2.1% in 2010 to 8.8% in 2020.
• In 2020, the Black or African American alone (12%), American Indian and Alaska Native alone (1.1%), and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone (0.2%) populations comprised similar shares of the total adult population as in 2010.
• Among children, the White alone population changed from 65.3% to 53%; the Black or African American alone population changed from 14.6% to 13.9%.
• The percentages increased for children in all other groups, especially the Some Other Race alone (8.7% in 2010; 10.9% in 2020) and Multiracial (5.6% in 2010; 15.1% in 2020) populations.
• The percentages also increased for Hispanic or Latino children from 2010 to 2020 (23.1% to 25.7%).

The observed changes in the White population, Some Other Race population, and Multiracial population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing, and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

I don't know why you are talking about to someone who have no idea what is "Hispanic White" and "Non-Hispanic White" (both counted as White American) and saying US white population will be replaced by Black and Asian in 2040.

Sometimes it is fun to see just how deluded such US haters are and have a good laugh.

You are a false flagger who lies about everything trying to gain bonus internet points so you get no respect from anyone. A scam artists would look down on you

Nearly all groups saw population gains this decade and the increase in the Two or More Races population (referred to throughout this story as the Multiracial population) was especially large (up 276%). The White alone population declined by 8.6% since 2010.

• The Multiracial population has changed considerably since 2010. It was measured at 9 million people in 2010 and is now 33.8 million people in 2020, a 276% increase.
• The “in combination” multiracial populations for all race groups accounted for most of the overall changes in each racial category.
• All of the race alone or in combination groups experienced increases. The Some Other Race alone or in combination group (49.9 million) increased 129% surpassing the Black or African American population (46.9 million) as the second-largest race alone or in combination group.
• The next largest racial populations were the Asian alone or in combination group (24 million), the American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination group (9.7 million), and the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in combination group (1.6 million).
• The Hispanic or Latino population, which includes people of any race, was 62.1 million in 2020. The Hispanic or Latino population grew 23%, while the population that was not of Hispanic or Latino origin grew 4.3% since 2010.

It is important to note that these data comparisons between the 2020 Census and 2010 Census race data should be made with caution, taking into account the improvements we have made to the Hispanic origin and race questions and the ways we code what people tell us.

Over half of Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders identified with more than one race.

• In the 2020 Census, 689,966 people (0.2%) identified as Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, up from 540,013 people (0.2%) in 2010.
• Coupled with the 896,497 people who identified as Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander in combination with another race group (such as Asian or White), the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in combination population totaled about 1.6 million people and 0.5% of the total population.
• The Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone population grew by 27.8% between 2010 and 2020. In comparison, the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander in combination population grew faster — 30.8% since 2010.

Some Other Race Population​

The Some Other Race population was the second-largest alone or in combination race group, comprising 15.1% of the total population.

• About 27.9 million people (8.4% of all respondents) identified as Some Other Race alone in 2020, up from 19.1 million people (6.2%) in 2010.
• Coupled with the 22 million respondents who identified as Some Other Race in combination with another race group (such as White or Black or African American), the Some Other Race alone or in combination population comprised 49.9 million people.
• The Some Other Race alone population changed 46.1% and the Some Other Race in combination population changed 733% since 2010.
• Approximately 45.3 million people of Hispanic or Latino origin were classified as Some Other Race either alone or in combination, compared with only 4.6 million people who were not of Hispanic or Latino origin. Nearly all of those who were classified as Some Other Race alone were of Hispanic or Latino origin (26.2 million out of 27.9 million, or 93.9%).

The observed changes in the Some Other Race population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

Multiracial Population​

In 2020, the percentage of people who reported multiple races changed more than all of the race alone groups, increasing from 2.9% of the population (9 million people) in 2010 to 10.2% of the population (33.8 million people) in 2020.

• The largest Multiracial combinations in 2020 were White and Some Other Race (19.3 million), White and American Indian and Alaska Native (4 million), White and Black or African American (3.1 million), White and Asian (2.7 million), and Black or African American and Some Other Race (1 million).
• Between 2010 and 2020, the White and Some Other Race population added 17.6 million people to the Multiracial population, a change of over 1,000%.
• The White and American Indian and Alaska Native population also increased, growing by about 2.5 million people or 177%.
• The White and Black or African American population increased by 1.2 million people, a 67.4% change.
• The White and Asian population increased by 1.1 million people, a 65.8% change in size.
• The Black or African American and Some Other Race population increased by 722,383 people, a 230% change.

The observed changes in the Multiracial population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing, and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

Hispanic or Latino Origin by Race​

Another way to examine data on race and ethnicity is to cross-tabulate Hispanic or Latino origin by race. As we saw with the 2010 Census, many Hispanic or Latino respondents answered the separate question on race by reporting their race as “Mexican,” “Hispanic,” “Latin American,” “Puerto Rican,” etc.
These and other responses to the race question that reflect a Hispanic or Latino origin were classified in the Some Other Race category, as people of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race per the 1997 OMB standards.
Between 2010 and 2020, the number of people of Hispanic or Latino origin reporting more than one race increased 567% from 3 million (6.0%) to 20.3 million (32.7%) (Figure 4).
We are confident these differences in racial distributions were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing, and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

• In 2020, among people of Hispanic or Latino origin, 26.2 million people (42.2%) identified their race as Some Other Race alone, a 41.7% change from 2010.
• The number of people of Hispanic or Latino origin who identified as White alone decreased by 52.9%, down from 26.7 million to 12.6 million over the decade.
• The number of people who were not of Hispanic or Latino origin who identified as White alone declined at a slower rate, with a -2.6% change.

Race and Hispanic Origin by Age Group​

The 2020 Census data also enable us to examine the racial and ethnic composition of the population under age 18 (children) and the population age 18 and over (adults) (Figure 5).
The racial and ethnic composition among children is quite different from adults. This comparison offers insights into the demographics of younger generations in this country and glimpses of what the future may bring.

• The White alone adult population (age 18 and over) went from 74.7% in 2010 to 64.1% in 2020. In contrast, the Multiracial adult population increased from 2.1% in 2010 to 8.8% in 2020.
• In 2020, the Black or African American alone (12%), American Indian and Alaska Native alone (1.1%), and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone (0.2%) populations comprised similar shares of the total adult population as in 2010.
• Among children, the White alone population changed from 65.3% to 53%; the Black or African American alone population changed from 14.6% to 13.9%.
• The percentages increased for children in all other groups, especially the Some Other Race alone (8.7% in 2010; 10.9% in 2020) and Multiracial (5.6% in 2010; 15.1% in 2020) populations.
• The percentages also increased for Hispanic or Latino children from 2010 to 2020 (23.1% to 25.7%).

The observed changes in the White population, Some Other Race population, and Multiracial population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing, and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.

2020 Census Illuminates Racial and Ethnic Composition of the Country

Today’s release of 2020 Census data provides a new snapshot of the racial and ethnic composition of the country.

61% are "White Only"

In case you have done any US census, there are 3 categories of White for you to fill out

White Only (European Descent)
Hispanic White (Latin American with European Descent, included mixed race Latin American)
Non-Hispanic White (Other White Population - Middle East, North Africa, North Asian)

White race as a whole is about 72% of US population or 236 million American.

So what? It is not as if only whites can keep USA a superpower.

So you think it is only whites that can keep USA a superpower?

Whites are dumb and blacks are lazy whiners.

It is the hard working Latinos and Brainy Asians who power the USA.

Actually its 2040 but an armchair general who likes to suck on the teets of the white man with serious inferiority complex wouldn't know any better

My dad identify himself as "Hispanic White" so did James Rodriguez (the photo I refer to)
It's just you know shit does not mean other people have inferior complex, it just means you know shit.

Also, of the last 25 census (done every decade) only 2020 saw a drop of 8.6% on white only population. So by that trend you can tell White race are going to be replace by 2040?? Wow, I want the magic 8 ball you are using.

So, this is factually incorrect.

I could not care less how much white people left in the US, i care about people present their data in a correct manner.

Getting to desperate to claim mixed race people are white too lol. Any latino does not call themselves as white, they seem themselves as brown latinos. You also classify mixed race as whites too which is a total lie. Guess what? I am Northern Chinese and my skin color is whiter than most whites especially mediterranian whites but i will never consider myself white in a million years either. You are desperate lol

I give articles, you give your little personal opinions about your dad who no one gives a crap about. Your a fake armchair general who wishes he was white but no one considers you white. Ur like those Persians/Arabs who live in the West who also consider themselves white lol. At the end of the day the truth speaks louder than words.

Nothing is more disgusting than a non white trying to act and pretend like he is white. Whites will always consider them non whites (even mixed are not considered whites by whites) and their own people just see them as a mentally ill person with massive inferiority complex. Its a joke

Even if that were true, it can only mean USA will get stronger with its hard workers.

I have got no respect for minorities like you who kowtow and lick boots of white man and lie for them hoping they treat you as a second class citizen and allow you to clean their car for $10.
You are a false flagger who lies about everything trying to gain bonus internet points so you get no respect from anyone. A scam artists would look down on you

Aren't you minority in Australia yourself lol? Who's arse you kiss to get here I wonder?

LOL

By the way, only inferior complex people would care about racial distribution of your own country.
