Minorities Become Majority in Three More U.S. Cities

Tomorrow's Washington Post reports in a piece titled "Changing Face of Western Cities," that minorities have become the majority in a number of major American cities. It's a topic we'll be addressing in my Ethnic Marketing course this fall at Johns Hopkins University.

Last week I posted a short piece to MATT.org about changing American demographics. Click [here] to review that article.

The Post's Anushka Asthana writes, "An analysis of census data released last week has shown that the white non-Hispanic population in another three of America's 50 largest cities has become a minority. In Phoenix, Tucson and Denver, the white population has recently fallen below 50 percent, according to William H. Frey, a demographer with the Brookings Institution. He predicts that another four cities will soon follow. Whites will become a minority in Arlington, Tex.; Charlotte; and Las Vegas within two years and in Austin within four years, he said."
