Four states and the District of Columbia were “majority-minority”in 2007, according to figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. That means more than 50 percent of those populations is made up of people other than single-race non-Hispanic whites.
Hawaii led the nation with a population that was 75 percent minority in 2007.
In second place was the District of Columbia (68 percent), then New Mexico (58 percent), California (57 percent) and Texas (52 percent).
Next in line, though not majority-minority, were Nevada, Maryland and Georgia, each with a minority population of 42 percent.
