The U.S. Latino population, now about 1 in 5 Americans, is projected to continue increasing through the year 2060, when over 1 in 4 Americans are likely to be Latino, according to U.S. Census Bureau projections released Thursday.

Hispanics are now 19.1% of the U.S. population but are projected to make up 26.9% of the population in less than four decades. Meanwhile, the non-Hispanic white population is projected to continue to decline from 58.9% now to 44.9% by 2060.

Overall, the U.S. population is projected to continue to grow from 333 million today to a high of nearly 370 million in 2080, but then dip downward to 366 million in the year 2100.

...1 in 4 Americans will be Latino by 2060...

I thought I was feeling more Latino these days. Good to finally hear some confirmation.

This must explain my insatiable lust for burritos and salsa.

I am learning Spanish on Duolingo so maybe in 40 years I’ll know enough to count as Latino too!

Explains why the maga fucks and the gop are freaking out about the border..

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But will we have taco trucks on every corner then? I was promised taco trucks on every corner.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Trump won in 2016 so he prevented the taco trucks from spreading.

And in the end we all lost.

I thought trying to overthrow American democracy (in a cringe way) was bad

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Every year more and more people I knew as kids become Latino. Seems like just yesterday they were dating Becky and unable to dance.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 10 months ago

I mean, Latinos can be white.

Not unless society doesn't collapse by 2040

[–] NedRyerson@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Personally, I am a little behind plan, but I think I can still be latino by 2030 if I put my mind to it

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It used to be much higher, of course.

Sure sure, predict the taste of change of the population in 80 years. About as nonsensical as people from 1940 predicting today.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

people from 1940 predicting today.

What predictions are you talking about?

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I compare their absurd prediction with a hypothetical prediction from the 1940s. I am sure there are real ones too. And sure enough, there are. Predictions from up to 1980 are far from the current population. That are just 40 years, not 80, but they are wrong by about 2 billion or 25 %. And the world did not change massively since 1980.
