![]() ![]() ![]() The largest percentage gain was among multiracial non-Hispanic residents, who at 13.5 million, now represent 4.1 percent of the population. The Census also enumerated 33.9 million non-Hispanic Blacks representing 12.1 percent of the population, and 19.6 million (5.9 percent) non-Hispanic Asians. Hispanics represent the largest share of this growing population with 62.1 million residents, or 18.7 percent of the population (Figure 1). population compared to 36.3 percent in 2010 and 30.5 percent in 2000. Together these groups now number 139.8 million people and represent 42.2 percent of the U.S. diversity was a 24.9 percent population gain among groups other than non-Hispanics Whites. This is 5.1 million fewer than in 2010, when the non-Hispanic White population was 63.7 percent of the U.S. ![]() In all, 57.8 percent of the nation’s residents (191.7 million) reported to the Census Bureau that they were White alone and not of Hispanic origin on the 2020 Census. The largest racial group remains non-Hispanic Whites. The growing diversity of the population during the decade reflects differential patterns of demographic change among the numerous sub-groups within the U.S. The net result was a significant increase in racial diversity over the course of the decade, both in the population as a whole, and children in particular. Yet, there was significant variation in the rate and direction of population change among the numerous racial and Hispanic origin groups that together represent the U.S. population grew by a modest 7.4 percent during the past decade to 331.4 million in April 2020. The estimate years differ from the base 2010 decennial census underestimates will be resolved in 2023 when the Census Bureau releases its 2010-2020 intercensal estimates.Diversity was geographically widespread and increased in every region of the country. This underestimate is, effectively, zero for 2010 and grows each year to reach 1% by 2020. The 2010-2020 postcensal estimates are known to underestimate the population by about 1% nationally. Use caution when interpreting population changes that use different “postcensal” version estimates. We will update this experience, including the 2010-2019 estimates, when the Bureau releases county-level 2010–2020 intercensal estimates by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. The most recent county-level data available by age, race, sex, and ethnicity are the Vintage 2020 Population Estimates () for 2010 to 2019 and the Vintage 2021 Population Estimates () for 20. These provisional estimates are “postcensal estimates,” and the final estimates are “intercensal estimates.” USAFacts used the final intercensal estimates for 1970 through 2009 and the provisional postcensal estimates for 2010 and after. ![]() Every decade, the Bureau reconciles these estimates and releases final data. The Census Bureau releases annual provisional population estimates based on the previous decennial census and other data on births, deaths, and migration/immigration. The “less than 1” and “1 to 4” groups for the 19 censuses were combined to create a consistent “0 to 4” group across all available data. Comparison pages include footnotes explaining that pre-2000 and post-2000 data comparisons will result in lower values for the separate race categories in proportion to the expected “two or more race” population.įor population by age, USAFacts grouped people ages 0–4 in different ways depending on the census. This category can’t be compared prior to 2000. These were the only categories included before 1990 for the available data.Īny comparison with the 1990 census to newer data will include the “white,” “Black,” and two categories added that year: “American Indian/Alaska Native” and “Asian or Pacific Islander.”ĭata from 2000 onward will also include the “Two or more race” category. To provide the most detail across all available data, USAFacts combined the census data on race and ethnicity into three groupings.Īny comparison of data from before 1990 only includes the “white,” “Black,” and “Other” race/ethnicity categories. But how the Census Bureau reported and grouped those populations changed over time. The Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program data by county includes details like counts by age, race, or ethnicity and goes back for decades. ![]()
