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.
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.
Only four states showed a net decline in the white population in 1999.
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.
