The United States is more ethnically diverse and more urban than a decade ago, and the white population dropped for the first time on record, the US Census Bureau says as it releases a trove of demographic data that will be used to redraw the nation’s political maps.
The new data released on Thursday show an increasingly diverse country, with significant increases among people who identify as multiracial, Hispanic and Asian driving much of the population growth between 2010 and 2020.
The total number of non-Hispanic white people, which remains the largest race or ethnic group, declined by 8.6 percent during the decade, resulting in a reduction of 5.6 percent as a share of the total US population, now comprising 57.8 percent – the lowest share on record, though white people continue to be the most prevalent racial or ethnic group.
