Brookings Institution Demographer William Frey: U.S. Moving to Majority-Minority at a Faster Rate

Brookings Institution Demographer William Frey contends that the United States is moving toward majority-minority status at a faster rate than anticipated.  Frey notes that 13 states and the District of Columbia already are majority-minority in the under 5 years of age population. The 14 are:

Hawaii
New Mexico
California
District of Columbia
Texas
Nevada
Arizona
Maryland
Florida
Georgia
New Jersey
New York
Mississippi
Delaware

It is noteworthy that the four most populated states, California, Texas, New York, and Florida, are among the 13 states with a majority-minority under-5 population.
