Minority Population Trends

MINORITY = 2012 minority population population trends In 2043, minorities will outnumber whites, according to the Census Bureau's new population projections. These projections, based on the 2010 Census, paint a picture of a nation that will become increasingly diverse. These changes will reverberate through U.S. politics, the education system, labor force, and health care system. For younger age groups, the tipping point will come much earlier: 2018 for those under 18 RACE-ETHNIC COMPOSITIONS IN 2012 AND 2060, BY AGE.

Diversity and inclusion are core values of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, reflected in our Guiding Principles. We value differences among individuals across multiple dimensions including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, religion and socioeconomic status. We believe that the more we include diverse perspectives and experiences in our work, the better able we are to help all Americans live healthier lives and get the care they need. In service to our mission, we pledge to promote these values in the work we do and to reflect on our progress regularly. Visit www.rwjf.org for more information. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
