Axios: 'Since 2010, 96% of All U.S. Counties Saw Declines in Shares of White Population'

The nation's white population has grown only 0.1% since 2010 and is projected to decline over the next decade.

Meanwhile, Hispanics and Asian Americans increased by 18.6% & 27.4%, respectively, between 2010 & 2018 https://t.co/tkAufW2cQv

The nation's white population has grown only 0.1% since 2010 and is projected to decline over the next decade.

- The map above appears to have large "white" areas where racial minorities are not highly represented. But these are small, less-populated areas where the white population is stagnating, per [Brookings Institution demographer Bill] Frey's analysis.

- Since 2010, 96% of all U.S. counties saw declines in shares of white population — and those declines aren't likely to be offset by white immigration from other countries or increased U.S. birth rates going forward.

- "In the next 5–6 years, we're going to see an actual decline in white population," Frey told Axios, noting the shrinking share of the white population since 2000 among children under the age of 18. "In the next 10 years or so, the 20-something population will become minority white. It's happening from the bottom up of the age structure."

Georgia’s electorate is growing fast and changing rapidly. We need a strategy with big, early investments to take advantage of Georgia’s strengths by expanding the electorate, particularly with voters of color. pic.twitter.com/hGhwR259d9

Democrats are in a position in 2020 to replicate and expand upon what my campaign accomplished in 2018. In fact, we are better positioned now. The trends are unmistakable and, with full investment and the right strategy, victory is within our reach. Now, let’s get it done. pic.twitter.com/zslAZDxbOB
