More Than Half of U.S. Babies Are Minorities, Census Estimates Show

Recent Census Bureau estimates of the 2010 census results show that for the first time in the U.S., minorities make up the majority of births. According to related ’09 census data, slightly less than half of children age 3 are non-Hispanic whites, compared to 60% in 1990.

Here in California, the percent of births to Caucasian/White mothers has been dropping steadily. In 1995, 36% of births were to Caucasian/White mothers, and by 2007, that dropped to 27% of births.
