The article on Zero Hedge provides an interesting visual representation of the US population's racial breakdown from 1990. The data comes from the US Census Bureau and is based on the results of the 1990 census.
Here are some key points I observed:
1. **Racial demographics**: In 1990, the US population was approximately 248 million people. The racial breakdown was:
* White: 76% (188 million)
* Black or African American: 12% (30 million)
* Asian and Pacific Islander: 2% (5 million)
* Hispanic or Latino: 9% (22 million)
* American Indian or Alaska Native: 0.7% (1.8 million)
* Other: 0.3% (750,000)
2. **Hispanic population growth**: The article highlights the significant growth of the Hispanic or Latino population between 1990 and 2000. This demographic grew from 9% to 12.5% of the total US population.
3. **Shifts in racial demographics**: Over time, there have been shifts in racial demographics, such as:
* The Black or African American population has remained relatively stable, while the White population has decreased slightly due to lower birth rates and increased diversity.
* The Asian and Pacific Islander population has grown significantly, especially among younger age groups.
* The Hispanic or Latino population has grown steadily, with a particularly rapid increase in California, Texas, Florida, and New York.
These changes reflect broader trends in US demographics, including:
1. **Diversification**: The US population is becoming increasingly diverse, with more people identifying as multiracial or from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
2. **Aging population**: The older segment of the White population has contributed to their relatively stable numbers, while birth rates have declined among younger age groups.
3. **Urbanization and migration patterns**: Many Hispanic and Asian populations are concentrated in major cities like Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, and Houston, reflecting migration patterns and urbanization trends.
Keep in mind that these data points reflect the 1990 census results, which provide a snapshot of the US population at that specific point in time.
