The Census Bureau says from April 2020 to July 2023, the Hispanic community has increased in U.S. population by 3.2 million, 91 percent of the overall gain,
While the U.S. population jumped by 3.4 million over the same time, analysis show population among whites dropped by 2.1 million, and the shrinking group of white youth drove a 1.6 million drop in the number of Americans under the age of 18 according to the Brooking Institution.
As with whites, there are more deaths than births, an aging population, and fewer white women who are of childbearing age; the numbers how and fertility rates are lower compared to other groups.
The report also states that Hispanic and other nonwhite groups are expected to increase their population in the U.S. by 44 percent in 2030, with Hispanic residents comprising one-fifth of the total. By 2050, one-quarter of the population will be Hispanic residents, and more than half will be nonwhite groups.
The report doesn’t mention whether Hispanics are entering the U.S. legally or on a work visa program, but the Census Bureau still counts them.
15 states like California and New York, saw a population drop of over 1.2 million residents during the three-year period.
States that saw an increase from 2020-2023 from the Hispanic community were Florida and Texas. Both states saw an increase of around 100,000 young people.
The political game may change as more minority groups gain numbers, which will attract both sides for their votes in upcoming elections.
