Abstract
If current trends continue, the percentage of whites in the United States by 2020 will decline to 63.7% (down from 75.6% in 2000) and by 2050, almost half of the U.S. population will be nonwhite1. The group predicted to make up the majority of the nonwhite population are Hispanics2, but other underrepresented minority groups will also grow substantially. Hispanics make up roughly one in every five high-school-age youth, compared with one in ten in 19902. Those trends are expected to be reflected in the state of Washington as well, but Washington also has a relatively large population of Alaska Indians/American Natives (AI/AN), about 1.6% of the population. Combined with Oregon and Idaho, the Northwest is home to approximately 170,000 (6.8%) of the nation's federally-enrolled tribal members3.
