Census: Washington getting less white, older; Asians growing fastest in state

According to the data of the new census, since 2010, the population of ethnic minorities is increasing more rapidly than the Caucasian population in Washington.

According to the census, non-Hispanic whites declined from 72.7% of the state's total population in 2010 to 71.6% in 2012.

At the same time, other groups - Hispanic, African American, Asian, Hawaiian Aboriginal / Pacific Islander and more than one ethnic group - accounted for the increase in the proportion of Washington's total population. Native American Indian / Alaska Native population declined slightly

Asians are the fastest growing racial or ethnic group in Washington. Between 2010 and 2012, the state's Asian population increased by 1%. Asians are also the fastest growing group in the country.

Among the 50 states, Washington is fifth in Asia, the fourth highest proportion of the Hawaiian Native / Pacific Islands, and the fourth highest proportion of two or more ethnic groups.

Also in the new census data: Washington is getting old. The average age of state residents rose from 37.3 in 2010 to 37.5 in 2012.

The number of elderly people in Washington grew faster than any other age group. Between 2010 and 2012, the population aged 65 and over increased by 8%. This is nearly four times the state's population.

The data shows that age differs greatly between race and ethnicity. The average age of Washington's non-Hispanic whites is 41.6 years old and is the oldest in this group. At the other end of the line there are two or more races, the median age is 18.8 years.

In 2013, there were about 579 million people over 65 in the world. According to the US Census, the population over the age of 85 is the fastest growing segment of the US population. As average life expectancy grows, tell me more about the population over 65 years old (Hutchison, 2015). It seems obvious that our body will change with age, and this will become more obvious as individuals enter slow adults and slow adults. But, surprisingly, the question of how our body collapses and when we enter later years is still controversial (Hutchison, 2015). One of the theories so far is that the human biological system network has only begun to decay, as most things are used for a long time.

According to the census data of June 2016, the total population of Asia as of July 1, 2015 in the United States was 21 million people, an increase of 4% per year. Furthermore, "The total population of people identified as two or more racists is 1 million more than 2 million compared to 2014. This is the second fastest growing ethnic group ... this is the second largest ethnic group It is due to the growth of nature. "People who are identified as two or more races are 20 years old" youngest at the middle age. " So far, two Indians of "Bobby" Jindal of Louisiana and "Nikki" Hailey of South Carolina State were elected governor; both are Republicans. Indian-American Pramila Jayapal, which is ideologically far from the left, is a candidate for Washington state parliament.

According to the census, Asian Americans are the fastest growing group in the United States, with 13% of the total population being Hispanic. Today, the United States metaphorically expresses the fusion of cultures including immigrants, local residents, minority groups. Some of the distinguishing features of American society is that multiculturalism is recognized as a fair institution by law, and tolerance to people is recognized as a means of better adaptability. This ideology had widespread impact. It not only brings about changes at the social level but also gives citizens equal rights and freedoms. It dominates the field of education and knowledge. For this reason, the rights of people with different communities and backgrounds became necessary. Homosexuality, lesbian, elderly, oppression class such as oppression class also increased rights.
