Factoids from 2010 US Census

  • More than half of the growth in the total population of the United States between 2000 and 2010 was due to the increase in the Hispanic population.
  • The Asian population grew faster than any other major race group between 2000 and 2010.
  • The populations of California, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, and New Mexico are "majority-minority,"
    meaning over 50% of the population was a minority.

Also called Visible Minority WikiPedia

Canada: 2001 13.4%; 2006 16.2%; 2012 19.6% (projected)
