The number of Black immigrants living in the country reached 4.6 million in 2019, up from roughly 800,000 in 1980.
In 2018-19, 79% of White elementary and secondary public school students went to schools where at least half of their peers were also White.
Immigrants – particularly those from African nations – are a growing share of the U.S. Black population.
Most Latino immigrants say they would come to the U.S. again.
From 2010 to 2019, the U.S. population increased by 18.9 million, and Hispanics accounted for more than half of this growth.
Since 2000, the size of the immigrant electorate has nearly doubled. More than 23 million U.S. immigrants will be eligible to vote in the 2020 presidential election.
The U.S. Hispanic population reached a record 60.6 million in 2019, up 930,000 over the previous year and up from 50.7 million in 2010.
The U.S. Black population is growing. At the same time, how Black people self-identify is changing, with increasing shares considering themselves multiracial or Hispanic.
In battleground states, Hispanics grew more than other racial or ethnic groups as a share of eligible voters.
