US Demographics
The changing face of the American populace.
For the first time in history, the 2020 census revealed a decline in the absolute number of white Americans. Growth is almost exclusively driven by Hispanic and Asian populations.
Aging Population
By 2030, all baby boomers will be older than 65. This will expand the size of the older population so that 1 in every 5 Americans is of retirement age, placing immense strain on Medicare and Social Security.
| Cohort | Population (2023) | Projected (2050) |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | 73M | 75M |
| 18 to 64 | 206M | 215M |
| 65 and older | 56M | 85M |
