Population growth in the US is being driven by people of color and happening in metro areas, Census Bureau officials say.
Population growth is being driven by people of color and happening in metro areas, Census Bureau officials said Thursday. A whopping 33.8 million people identified as two or more races, up from 9 million in 2010, while people who identify as white alone fell by 8.6 percent. Some of these changes are likely due to changes in how the Census asks people about race.
The Census data will be used to guide federal funding as well as a hotly anticipated redistricting cycle, wherewill dilute the political power of the growing number of voters of color in the nation. One exception? The share of the white population is growing in coastal communities in the Carolinas and Virginia, as well as in parts of Georgia and Alabama.
Meanwhile metro areas — from big cities to their surrounding suburbs — are growing. Phoenix, Arizona is the fastest-growing U.S. city, with 11.2 percent growth in the last ten years. New York saw the largest population growth of any city this year, followed by Houston, with 200,000 more people.
