New population estimates released Thursday reveal a striking shift in the composition of America's population as racial and ethnic minority births are also outpacing minority deaths.
Meanwhile non-Hispanic whites are experiencing negative population growth, seeing 61,841 more deaths than births between 2013 and 2014.
The Census reports that in the past decade, the population has become more diverse, with the percentage of ethic and racial minorities growing from 32.9 percent to 37.9 percent over the last decade.
Indeed, the report notes that Millennials -- now representing more than a quarter of the population, more than the 75.4 million Baby Boomers -- are more diverse than earlier generations as 44.2 percent belong to a minority group.
