The growth in the American population over the last decade was driven entirely by minority communities, according to new data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, as the number of white Americans declined for the first time since the nation's founding.
Non-Hispanic whites make up just under 58 percent of the American population, the first time since the Census was first conducted that they have fallen under the 60 percent mark. By contrast, the 2000 Census showed non-Hispanic whites made up just over 69 percent of the population, and 63.7 percent in 2010.
Hispanic or Latino Americans have grown steadily to 62.1 million, or 18.7 percent of the population, up from 12.6 percent in 2000 and 16.4 percent in the 2010 count. Asian Americans grew faster than any other minority group in the last decade, to 24 million, up about 20 percent since 2010.
Counties with populations under 50,000 all lost population on average, according to the Census data. Counties with populations over 100,000 gained 9.1 percent, as more Americans flocked to metropolitan areas and their nearby suburbs.
Overall, 86.3 percent of Americans live in a metropolitan area, a city and its surroundings with populations greater than 50,000, up 2 percentage points since the 2000 survey. The share of Americans who live in rural areas that are not part of metropolitan areas dropped by 2.8 percentage points.

Propagandists like Catfan15 refuse to accept that.
Chuckle.
Thanks to both of you for making sense-and underscoring my point-but I’m sure we are making too much sense to pay attention to...
You keep on hoping for those minorities to vote GOP. That’s the real joke.
You’re not very good at trolling.
Maybe you should take lessons and then get back to us.
The facts are that hispanic or whatever you want to call them are voting dem 60/40 should alarm you. It’s not as much as blacks, maybe even asians, but it’s a losing bet.
Catfan15 is a very poor troll.
They are paying him for nothing.
Chuckle.
What are they paying you to ignore facts?
Whites are not having babies.
Nope.
I'd take that, together with a high majority of the majority white vote.
After all Latinos still make up only over 18% of the US population.
And they are turning the country blue. Quickly.
60/40 I guess doesn’t register against your narrative.
Is that why the Dems are losing even more quickly and by bigger margins in Texas and Florida?
Haha-you’re right-and by their reasoning, I guess the fact that my ancestors last saw what is now northern Mexico over a horse’s ass on their way to Texas and NM by 1790 means I’m still “Mexican”, instead of American, too-there is no reasoning with some-my family is conservative-I’ve been waiting for the revolution since I was 14, and I think it might finally happen, so I’m locked and loaded and keeping my powder dry and my Texas flag on my gatepost...
If you think mexicans will vote GOP beyond 60/40, I guess that’s why it seems you married into it. Cause that’s not reality. All TX cities, where people actually live, are blue now. That’s not a long term solution. FL is hanging by a wire too.
Um, nobody has said that on this thread. You just made that up all by yourself. Chuckle.
However, if Dementia Joe keeps screwing up on crime, immigration and everything else, don't be surprised if his share of the Latino vote goes down too.
Bear in mind the Latinos still make up less than 20% of the vote.
If all the people in Texas lived in blue big cities, the Dems would not be losing all state wide elections would they?
Well good luck on that whole mexican think. Most people will see right through them as a hopeful voting target for conservatives.
It’s kinda like when blacks when from 5% to 8% with Trump. The numbers just don’t lie.
It’s a major disruption. Laugh it up though!
