Race & Ethnicity
About This Indicator
What Does This Chart Show?
The population split five ways: Hispanic or Latino of any race, and non-Hispanic White, Black, Asian, and everyone else, including people of two or more races. From the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, yearly since 2005; there was no 2020 release.
What It Says
Age drives much of the change: the non-Hispanic White population is the oldest group, so deaths take a larger share of it each year, while the Hispanic population is among the youngest, so births add a larger share. From 2005 to 2019, before a coding change, the Hispanic share rose from 14.5% to 18.4% and the White share fell from 66.8% to 60.0%.
Key Idea
Race and ethnicity are what people say about themselves, so the answers move with the questions: from 2021 the survey coded written-in answers the way the 2020 census did, and between 2019 and 2021 the Other share jumped from 3.6% to 5.6% while the White share fell, a change in counting more than in people.
