America at a glance
This Census-based graphic reveals America’s changing demographic landscape. Explore how aging and population diversification trends may shape the nation’s future and business.
Who lives in America today? Using Census data, this is what the population looks like, based on race, ethnicity, age and gender. Each star represents 2% of the population. It’s not a perfect representation (there isn’t a straight three-way cross tab) but it’s close. In 2030 or 2050 this flag will look different.
Today we are an aging and diversifying nation. Will those decades-long trends hold? Will they accelerate? Will they reverse?
