Report: Diversity growing in nearly every state
Census Bureau finds minorities are bigger share of population in 49 states

Census: Immigration numbers on the rise
Aug. 15: America’s growing diversity has reached nearly every state. NBC's Chip Reid reports.

Aug 17, 2006

WASHINGTON - America’s growing diversity has reached nearly every state. From South Carolina’s budding immigrant population to the fast-rising number of Hispanics in Arkansas, minority groups make up an increasing share of the population in every state but one, according figures from the Census Bureau.

“This is just an extraordinary explosion of diversity all across the United States,” said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. “It’s diversity and immigration going hand in hand.”

West Virginia is the exception, with its struggling economy and little history of attracting immigrants.

Frey said states that attract large numbers of immigrants can consider it a “badge of economic success.” There have, however, been backlashes.

“In some places it will be awhile before they are accepted by the locals,” Frey said. “All we have to do is look at this immigration debate.”

The 2005 figures are from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, which is replacing the “long form” on the 10-year census. Starting this year, the annual survey of about 3 million households provides yearly data on communities of 65,000 or larger. By 2010, it will provide annual multiyear averages for the smallest neighborhoods covered by the 10-year census.
