The Coming "Minority Majority"
U.S. Census Bureau data from 2016 points to a growing collective share of minority populations. As of 2016, 38.7 percent of all Americans are Asian, Black, Hispanic, or belong to another minority group.
A chart published in a recent edition of the American Consumers Newsletter by Cheryl Russell of New Strategist Press (shown at right) details the percentage of each generation’s population of non-Hispanic White origin, and the Census Bureau’s age ranges of each generation. The term “Recession Generation” is a “placeholder” until a more formal name is given to that group, as their final age range is determined.
While the minority population share of generations beginning with Gen X are significant and rising, the most recent survey data from Wine Market Council shows that among all U.S. wine drinkers, 71% are non-Hispanic White, followed by 14% Hispanics and 9% Black/African American.
