Hispanic Population Is Younger But Aging Faster Than Non-Hispanic Population

While younger than the non-Hispanic population, the Hispanic or Latino population has aged faster over the past decade, according to 2020 Census data released on May 25.

Despite that, children of Hispanic or Latino origin in 2020 made up a quarter of all children under age 18 in the United States. And in states where their numbers increased the most, the total counts of children often decreased, the data show.

The Hispanic population?s median age in 2020 was 30.0, up 2.7 years from 2010. The non-Hispanic population was older but aged at a slower rate: median age was 41.1 in 2020, up 1.5 years from 2010.

Family Households Still the Majority

While one-person households increased from 25% in 1990 to 28% in 2020, family households remained the largest type of U.S. households and the majority were married-couple households, according to 2020 Census data released last week.

About two-thirds of all U.S. households in 2020 were family households, the same share as a decade earlier; married-couple households accounted for about 71% of these households.

In addition, for the first time in the decennial census, the 2020 Demographic and Housing Characteristics data released on May 25 show distinct totals for opposite-sex and same-sex spouse and unmarried partner households. In 2020, there were 1.2 million same-sex households in the United States.
