For the second year in a row, the number of non-Hispanic white deaths in 2013 outweighed the number of white births, signaling an increasingly older and diversified American public. It is a trend that\u2019s likely to continue for a while, as traditionally minority groups become the majority of the U.S. population.<\/p>\n
As a result of its slower growth rate, compared with other groups, the number of non-Hispanic white individuals declined to 62.6 percent of the total overall population in 2013 from 63 percent in 2012, according to recent figures from the Census Bureau.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we move forward we\u2019re probably going to continue to have a natural decrease of whites because it\u2019s an older population and eventually, maybe in 10 years or so, we\u2019ll have a decline in the white population,\u201d says William Frey, a demographer and senior fellow at the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution in Washington. \u201cThat\u2019s a scenario I think we\u2019ll see for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
A previous report from the Census Bureau showed that the U.S. will become a majority-minority country for the first time in 2043, meaning the total number of black, Asian, Hispanic and other minority populations will outweigh the non-Hispanic white population.<\/p>\n
