The new majority in the United States: a country transformed by diversity and change

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the proportion of white population has dropped to 56.3%, an all-time low, mainly due to the growth of Hispanic and Asian communities. The non-white population is rising due to changes in immigration, fertility and age structure, with the most significant changes in cities and the West Coast. The number of single families now exceeds that of married couples, especially among younger generations. These changes are reshaping the cultural, political and economic landscape of the United States, affecting election, market and policy needs.
