The table, combined with the bar chart, provides an overview of demographics of the USA from the early last century to the present.
It can be seen from the table that the US population is now 300 million, 1. 5 times larger than 40 years ago. Hispanic and Asian and Pacific Islander expanded much faster than other races. According to the census, 44. 7 million Americans are Hispanic, more than 5 times higher than in 1966, while the Asian population is as large as 14. 3 million, a ten – fold increase over the 1966 level. By comparison, although white Americans are still in the majority, accounting for two thirds of the current US population, the growth rate was lower than the general population. Afro – Americans, who made up the second largest ethnical group in 1966 with a population of 22. 3 million, dropped to 3rd position, behind white and Hispanics. Other ethnical groups take up the remaining 1. 3 million.
In the first half of the 20th century, the US population grew at various rates, ranging from 7. 5 million to 20 million a decade, the bar suggests. It accelerated since the middle of the last century, with adding at least 20 million to the overall population every ten years. The 1990s alone experienced a growth of more than 30 million.
