Projections for the U.S. Population:
2014 to 2060
The U.S. population is projected to become more diverse and by 2044:
The United States is projected to become a plurality nation. While the non‐
Hispanic White (alone) population will still be the largest, no race or ethnic
group is projected to have greater than a 50 percent share of the nation’s
total.
More than half of all Americans are projected to belong to a minority group,
any group other than non‐Hispanic White alone, and will become majority‐
minority.

Projections for the U.S. Population:
2014 to 2060
The child population within the United States is even
more diverse and is projected to experience the majority‐
minority crossover in 2020, just 6 years into the future.
By 2060, nearly one in five of the nation’s total population
is projected to be foreign born.

DEFINITION OF LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT (LPR)
A lawful permanent resident (LPR) or “green card” recipient is
defined by immigration law as a person who has been granted
lawful permanent residence in the United States.
Lawful permanent resident status confers certain rights and
responsibilities.
Lawful permanent residents may live and work permanently
anywhere in the United States, own property, and attend public
schools, colleges, and universities. They may also join the
Armed Forces and apply to become U.S. citizens if they meet
certain eligibility requirements
