"The non-Hispanic White alone population is expected to experience a large decline in its
share of the population, even in the Zero Net International Migration series. The Black,
American Indian and Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
populations are expected to maintain their shares of the population in all series. For all
series except the Zero Net International Migration series, the Asian population is
expected to experience an increase in its share of the population. The percentage of
Hispanics in the U.S. population is projected to increase substantially in all five series
(see Figure 4). In the High Net International Migration series, this proportion increases a
total of 15 percentage points, from 16.3 percent in 2010 to 31.3 percent in 2050. Even
with zero net international migration, the Hispanic population is projected to experience
an increase of 6.7 percentage points, from 14.3 percent in 2010 to 21.0 percent in 2050.
This suggests that international migration alone is not driving growth for the Hispanic
population. Such growth is also attributed to fertility rates and a younger population.
The Hispanic population has a higher level of fertility relative to all other racial and
ethnic groups. The Hispanic population also has a considerably lower median age"
