The population of white Americans is on the decline for the first time in its history, according to an analysis of birth and death rates in the United States from 1999 to 2016.
The demographic shift is being driven by an aging cohort of white baby boomers who are beginning to die out, along with an across-the-board drop in fertility rates in the wake of the Great Recession in 2008. However, the U.S. is still growing overall thanks to a booming population of Latinos.
That’s according to a data brief by demographers Rogelio Saenz and Kenneth M. Johnson, who released their analysis through the University of Wisconsin’s Applied Population Lab. The original data was provided by the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“In 10 years, we’re probably going to have much, much more of a diverse population,” Saenz told Global News on Thursday.
The data brief shows white Americans in 2016 were dying faster than they were being born in 26 states, which comprise roughly 56 per cent of the overall U.S. population.
and this data is almost three years old, can't wait for new data to come out
Saenz says he and Johnson have seen the shift coming for years, but it appears to have been accelerated by drug-induced deaths among working-class whites.
“Our analysis suggests that more states are likely to experience white natural decrease in the near future,” Saenz and Johnson wrote in their analysis.
