Minority becomes majority in US [did you know that over 90% of the world is non-white? [MORE]

Today, non-whites make up about 38 percent of the general population, a share that is expected to surpass 50 percent in 2044, according to projections. The voting-eligible population is predicted to follow closely behind.

The minority share of the electorate — those capable of voting — is predicted to rise to 50 percent in 2052 from 31 percent today. But the change will be uneven, according to the analysis.

By 2060, minorities are projected to make up about 75 percent or more of the electorate in three states: California, New Mexico and Hawaii, which has never had a white majority. In Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, on the other hand, minorities will still not have broached 15 percent of the electorate, according to the projections.

Over that time, the electorate will change drastically. In five states, the minority share of the voting-eligible population will grow by 25 percentage points or more. They are Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Nevada and New Jersey.

Nationally, the white share of the electorate is predicted to fall to 46 percent in 2060 from 69 percent this year.

The Hispanic share is predicted to rise to 27 percent from 13 percent; the black share is expected to rise one point to 13 percent from 12 percent; and the share that is Asian or “other” is expected to double to 14 percent from 7 percent.
