The United States is a country that is diversifying and getting older, as the population continues to shift more into metropolitan areas.White non-Hispanic Americans now make up less than 60% of the population. About 57% if you count Puerto Rico or a little less than 58% not counting it. The latter is down from about 64% after the 2010 Census. It's also down from the 69% recorded at the 2000 Census.
A countervailing force that could hurt Democrats going forward is that older groups are becoming a larger share of the population.Adults now make up 78% of all Americans. Children are just 22%. Last Census, adults were 76% of Americans. In 2000, they were 74%.The graying of this country is happening at the same time that the country's population is growing at a slowing pace. The population grew by 7% this past decade. That's the slowest growth since the Great Depression.

The census figures have been eagerly awaited by states, and they are sure to set off an intense partisan battle over representation at a time of deep national division and fights over voting rights.
