According to a new analysis done by the Census Bureau, the Hispanic population in the United States increased by 3.2 million from the onset of the pandemic to mid-2023, accounting for 91% of the country’s overall growth.
William Frey, a demographer and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has attributed a “diversity explosion” to an increase in immigration and changes in both births and fatalities from April 2020 to July 2023.
He stated in a report that the trend is a significant aspect of the nation’s future and a new and startling phenomenon.
The US population increased by 3.4 million overall during the period, as indicated by Frey’s analysis.
Simultaneously, the White population experienced a 2.1 million decline, and the number of Americans under the age of 18 decreased by 1.6 million as a result of the diminishing White youth.
The primary cause of the diminished White population is the fact that there are more deaths than births.
The fertility rates of White women are lower than those of other groups, as a result of an aging population, and there are proportionally fewer White women who are of reproductive age.
The recent gains of all other groups were influenced by both natural increases, which is measured as the difference between births and mortality, and continued and uncontrolled immigration.
