The majority of children are non white
this is from 2020: Children of color projected to be majority of U.S. youth this year
by the middle of 2020, nonwhites will account for the majority of the nation’s 74 million children.
the declining number of white children reflects the significant aging of the white population.
Whites in the U.S. have a median age of 43.6, much higher than those of all other racial or ethnic groups. Latinos, in particular, are much younger, with a median age of 29.5.
Slightly more than one-fifth of whites are age 65 and older, while elders account for only about one-tenth of nonwhites. Indeed, today in the U.S. there are more white elders than white children.
The older age of whites is mainly due to fewer white births than white deaths. Between July 2017 and July 2018, there were 0.88 white births in the U.S. for every 1 white death. In the case of Latinos, the ratio was 5 births for every 1 death.
