Changing face of America revealed by Census Bureau: White population dips to 56.3%, numbers of non-married grow
Income inequality decreased, more people got university degrees, fewer people moved to a different house and the Asian and Latin population share increased in the United States last year, according to the numbers issued by the American Statistical Office on Thursday.
These changes were taken from one year to year, large and small, from 2023 to 2024 in the office data from the American society surveying, which is the largest annual audit of American life. The survey of 3.5 million families asks for more than 40 topics, including income, housing costs, the condition of old warriors, the use of computer, mobility and education.
Here’s a look at how the United States changed last year.
Income inequality declines
Income inequality – or the gap between the highest and lowest papers – in the United States in the country decreased by nearly half a percent from 2023 to 2024, as the average family income increased slightly, from 80,002 dollars to 81,604 dollars.
Five states of the Middle West – Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota and Warsonsen – were statistically significant decreases, along with Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon and Portorico.
North Carolina was the only country that sees a statistically significant increase in inequality. Michael Walden, the economist in North Carolina, said it reflects the country that generates large -scale jobs in technology and other professional sectors, while the lack of employment after birth that sparked wages in low -wage service jobs has ended.
In South Dakota, which has achieved a 4 % decrease, low inequality “can reflect stronger growth in family income between low and medium -income families (or the smaller growth in the income of the highest arches).”
In Nebraska, high employment rates may be in all demographic groups because “high workers lead to income, and thus inequality in income,” said Josie Chevir, director of the Public Affairs Research Center at Nebraska University.
In Massachusetts, Marc Melnik, Director of Economic and Public policy Research at the Imtrest Institute, said that one of the traditional strengths of the state economy-large-scriptous functions in life sciences, technology and research-has been slow in the past two years.
Melnik said: “The typical functions in this industry are a type of thing that helps Massachusetts to get the highest percentage of the individual (income) in the country, but it also increases some elements of income inequality,” Melnik said.
More diversity and fewer people
The United States has become a demographic more diverse, and he married fewer people from 2023 to 2024.
The non -Latin white population, who sympathizes with only one race, decreased from 57.1 % to 56.3 %, while the country’s Asian population’s share increased from 6 % to 6.3 % and the population of Spanish origin increased from 19.4 % to 20 %. The average black population remains the same at 12.1 %, as the Indian American population in Alaska alone did by 1 %.
In the marriage department, the share of men who had not been married to 37.2 % increased to 37.6 %, increased from 31.6 % to 32.1 % for women.
Less number of people moved, as the costs of renting and owning homes increased
Last year, only 11 % of the US population moved to another house, compared to 11.3 % in the previous year. The decrease in the people who transport this contract was part of a continuous segment, as the prices of homes increased in some metro and interest rates rose. In 2019, compared, 13.7 % of the population of the United States moved.
The monthly costs of American home owners increased by a real estate mortgage to $ 2035 from 1960 dollars. Home owners who have a mortgage in California ($ 3,001), Hawaii ($ 2,937), New Jersey ($ 2,797), Massachusetts ($ 2,755), and Colombia Province ($ 3,181) has the highest medium monthly costs.
The costs of tenants also increased with the average lease with the facilities from $ 1,448 to $ 1487.
