Minority birth rates are higher and have been for some time.
In 2018, for the first time, the combined nonwhite population–blacks, Hispanics, Asians, persons identifying as multiracial, and other races–comprised the dominant share of the under age 15 population (50.1% compared with 49.8% in 2017), with Hispanics accounting for more than a quarter of this youth demographic.
The new census statistics reveal that fully 14 states plus the District of Columbia house a minority white under age 15 population, led by Hawaii, where only 14.6 percent of these children are white. The list includes the nation’s four largest states, California, Texas, Florida, and New York.
Beyond these 14 states, 11 more, including Illinois, Connecticut, Washington, and Colorado house under age 15 populations where racial/ethnic minorities comprise at least 40% of their residents.
