The United States is projected to become a majority non-white nation by 2050 according to US Census Bureau projections. Non-Hispanic white Americans make up 57.5 per cent of the population in the most recent July 2025 estimates. Projections indicate this share will fall to about 47 per cent by 2050 and 44 per cent by 2060.
At that point Americans who are Hispanic, Black, Asian, multiracial or from other backgrounds would collectively form the majority for the first time. The figures have prompted discussion in news outlets and on social media platforms.
