Summary of Population Trends by Ethnicity (2013–2023)
Over the last decade, population distribution across racial and ethnic groups has shown both steady trends and notable shifts.
- White (Non-Hispanic) remains the largest group, though its share has gradually declined from approximately 76.8% in 2013 to 72.6% in 2023.
- Hispanic or Latino populations have increased in representation across multiple racial categories, with the White (Hispanic) group experiencing a notable decrease in population share in recent years despite earlier growth trends.
- Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) and Asian (Non-Hispanic) populations have shown modest but steady growth in both numbers and proportional share.
- American Indian & Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander, and Other Ethnicities remain smaller segments, though some fluctuations are visible, particularly in the “Two or More Races” categories, which have experienced consistent growth in share—indicating increasing racial variance and multiracial identification.
- The Two Races Including Other and Two Races Excluding Other & Three or More Races categories have seen some of the fastest proportional increases, particularly among Hispanic populations, signaling a demographic shift toward more multiracial identification over time.
Overall, while the White (Non-Hispanic) population continues to be the largest segment, the data reflects a gradual diversification of the population, with rising representation from Hispanic, multiracial, and non-majority ethnic groups.
