US Population 2060 and the twilight of the Baby Boomers
According to the projections, the population age 65 and older is expected to more than double between 2012 and 2060, from 43.1 million to 92.0 million. The older population would represent just over one in five U.S. residents by the end of the period, up from one in seven today. The increase in the number of the “oldest old” would be even more dramatic — those 85 and older are projected to more than triple from 5.9 million to 18.2 million, reaching 4.3 percent of the total population.
The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.
Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.
The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.
The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation’s total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period.
Sometime around 2040-2050, the US population should reach 400 million.
Even though world population might peak at 10-11 billion at about that time, the US is still expecting to attract and allow more immigration. Perhaps as much 1.6 million per year.

Yes. One hundred years and more from now, history will record that there was a brief period of time when white immigrants from Europe ruled the mid-section of North America. It was a relatively short period lasting about 200 years during which the white immigrants pushed from the eastern coast to the western, displacing the indigenousness inhabitants in their path. However, the new white immigrants were themselves soon displaced by immigrants from Africa and then Central America and southern North America. Eventually all of North America became ruled by southern North American peoples, with the white European immigrants and African immigrants and indigenous inhabitants all becoming minority populations. The predominance of the southern North American peoples will be seen to be largely a factor of their ability to procreate much more prolifically than the other populations in North America.
