"Together, growing white mortality and the diminishing number of white births increase the likelihood of more white natural decrease. In contrast, births exceed deaths by a considerable margin among the younger Latino population, and the combination of these very different demographic trends is increasing the diversity of the U.S. population.

Though white natural decrease is clearly on the rise, only two states have more deaths than births in their total populations. This low incidence of overall natural decrease in U.S. states reflects the growing importance of Latino natural increase to overall U.S. demographic trends.

The pace of decline in white births intensified from 2007 to 2013

Several states have experienced protracted white natural decrease. It has been occurring for more than a decade in Florida, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, West Virginia, California, and New Mexico.

Powerful demographic forces have combined to raise the incidence of white natural decrease.

The percent of the female population less than 15 years old gives us a glimpse of the future. States with smaller proportions of white females under 15 have less potential for future white births than states with larger portions of young females

The other fifteen states with white natural decrease are still experiencing overall natural increase because other racial/ethnic populations, especially Latinos, produced a great enough surplus of births over deaths to offset the white natural decrease

The Latino population is considerably younger (median age of 28.4 in 2014) and has higher fertility rates than the white population, and so Latino births exceeded deaths by a substantial margin in all fifty states and the District of Columbia in 2014. In twelve of the seventeen states with more white deaths than births in 2014, Latino natural increase alone was sufficient to offset the natural decline of whites

In contrast, the youthful Latino population has increased significantly over the last three decades. It is responsible for the majority of all U.S. population increase and is expected to contribute even more in the future"
