U.S. 2020 Census Results: The proportion of whites has declined and Asians have increased to 6%

　　China News Service, Washington, August 12 (Reporter Sha Hanting) The U.S. Census Bureau announced on the 12th local time the results of the 2020 Census, showing that in the past ten years, the U.S. population has shown a more diversified trend, with the proportion of whites and African descents. Decline, the proportion of Latinos and Asians rises.

　　U.S. census data for 2020 show that whites are still the most populous ethnic group, but the population has decreased by 2.6% compared to 10 years ago, and its proportion has dropped from 63.7% 10 years ago to 57.8%, the largest drop in history.

Among minorities, the proportion of Latino groups increased to 18.7%; the proportion of African descent groups decreased to 12.4%; the proportion of Asian groups increased to 6%.

　　US Census Bureau Director Nicholas Jones (Nicholas Jones) said that an analysis of the results of the 2020 census shows that compared with the past, the US population is more diversified in terms of race.

　　Data show that whites are still the most populous group in most states and regions, but in California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, whites are no longer the most populous group.

In California, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Maryland, Hawaii, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, the proportion of white people is less than 50%.

　　In addition, the census data shows that in the past ten years, the total population of the United States has increased from 308 million to 331 million, an increase of 7.35%, the slowest growth since the 1930s.

Among them, the main population growth comes from cities, an increase of 8.7% over 10 years ago.

　　Next, U.S. states will re-divide electoral districts based on the results of the census.

Among them, 44 states will re-divide 429 electoral districts of the House of Representatives.

The goal of rezoning is to ensure that the population of all electoral districts is basically the same.

　　At present, in the House of Representatives, the Democrats occupy 220 seats, the Republicans occupy 212 seats, and the Democrats control the House of Representatives by a narrow margin.

The US media believes that the next two parties will compete fiercely for the division of constituencies in their favor.

Experts believe that in the division of electoral districts, even "small" changes may affect the distribution of power in the House of Representatives.
