White Deaths Exceed Births in a Majority of U.S. States

Without immigration we’ll be broke in 5….4…..3….2…..1…..

Once upon a time, I recall being preached to by liberals regarding the evils of “population growth.” One of the new commandments was something about “zero population growth.” Sort of a “2 kids per couple” proposal, give or take some fraction for death rate.

Now? Having absorbed this notion for a few decades, maybe it’s just white people who accepted it, by and large?

Is IQ2 urging white folk to start procreating at a higher rate?

White Deaths Exceed Births in a Majority of U.S. States

In 2016, more non-Hispanic whites died than were born in twenty-six states; more than at any time in U.S. history. Some 179 million residents or roughly 56 percent of the U.S. population, lived in these 26 states. In contrast, non-Hispanic white (hereafter referred to as white) deaths exceeded births in just four states in 2004and seventeen as recently as 2014. White deaths also exceeded white births in the nation as a whole for the first time in U.S. history in 2016, according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics. When births fail to keep pace with deaths, a region is said to have a "natural decrease" in population, which can only be offset by immigration gains. In seventeen of the twenty-six states with white natural decreases, the white population diminished overall between 2015 and 2016. Our analysis of the demographic factors that cause white natural decrease suggests that more states are likely to experience it in the future.

The growing incidence of this white natural decrease has important implications for the nation's demographic future. America is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Most scholarly research on diversity has focused on the influence that growing minority populations have played in fostering such diversity. For example, the substantial surplus of Latino births over deaths, together with past immigration have contributed enormously to the growing diversity of the United States. But other demographic processes are also at work. These include the rising incidence of white natural decrease due to aging and below-replacement fertility among the 61 percent of the population who are white. As we shall see, the accelerating diversity of the U.S. population is a function of this white natural decrease as well as the growth of minority populations.

Over the last several decades, demographers have noted the growing incidence of natural decrease in the United States. More widespread natural decrease results from declining fertility due to the Great Recession, and the aging of the large baby-boom cohorts born between 1946 and 1964. This senior population is projected to expand from 15 percent of the total population in 2016 to nearly 24 percent in 2060. Much of this aging baby boom population is white; so white mortality is growing. Together, growing white mortality and the diminishing number of white births increase the likelihood of more white natural decrease. In contrast, births exceed deaths by a considerable margin among the younger Latino population, and the combination of these very different demographic trends is increasing the diversity of the U.S. population.

Though demographers have noted the growing incidence of natural decrease among the overall population, little attention has been given to its occurrence among racial sub-groups. To address this gap, we use data from the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control to examine the annual volume of births and deaths among whites from 1999 to 2016 for each state and the District of Columbia. We focus on whites because they represent the largest share of the U.S. population and because their demographic profile increases the likelihood of natural decrease. We find a significant rise in the number of states experiencing white natural decrease in the last few years. Comparing these states to others where white births exceed deaths helps us to understand what combination of demographic changes produce natural decrease. Though white natural decrease is clearly on the rise, only three states have more deaths than births in their total populations. This low incidence of overall natural decrease in U.S. states reflects the growing importance of minority natural increase to overall U.S. demographic trends. In fact, African Americans had natural decline in only one state (West Virginia,-131) in 2016 as did Asians and Pacific Islanders (Hawaii, -906), while Latino births exceeded deaths in every state.

As White Births Diminish, White Deaths Increase

Between 1999 and 2016, the number of white births fell by 10.8 percent to 2,094,000 and the number of white deaths rose by 9.2 percent to 2,133,000. Both these demographic changes contributed to waning levels of natural increase and the onset of white natural decrease (Figure 1). The pace of decline in white births intensified from 2007 to 2016, due in part to the Great Recession's significant impact on U.S. fertility.vi The recession, the greatest shock to the American economic system in nearly two generations, influenced both fertility and lifecycle decisions for many families.

With significantly fewer white births and a rising number of deaths, natural increase (births minus deaths)actually ended in 2016. In that year, for the first time in U.S. history, data from the National Center for Health Statistics showed more white deaths than births in the United States. The white natural loss of 39,000 in 2016compares to a natural gain of 393,000 in 1999. Both the growing number of deaths (up 180,000 between 1999and 2016), and the declining number of births (down 252,000 between 1999 and 2016) contributed to the dwindling white natural increase and more recently to natural decrease. In 2016, whites accounted for 77.7percent of all U.S. deaths, but just 53.1 percent of births.

Demographers use the birth-to-death ratio (BDR) to track the changing relationship between fertility and mortality in a population. For whites, the BDR fell from 1.21 in 2000 to just 0.98 in 2016 (Figure 2). Thus, the number of white births for each white death declined from 1.21 in 2000 to less than 1 in 2016. In contrast, even with recent fertility declines associated with the Great Recession there were 4.9 Latino birth for every Latino death, 3.9 Asian births for every Asian death and 1.7 African American birth for every African American death. This combination of high ratios of births to deaths for the minority population and fewer births than deaths among whites accelerated the diversity of the U.S. population.

Maybe right wing white men should stop whining about discrimination that doesn't exist and obsessing over trans people, then work on romancing your wives and girlfriends so they will want to give you some so you can increase your birthrate.

This should make you happy. Won’t be long until black folks will be in a position to enslave all white folks as payback for what white people did, then eventually, you can kill off the rest of the whiteys and have your black dominated world order.

This is not news. White births have been declining since the Great Recession.
So of course, white deaths will eventually outstrip white births.

The Mystery of the Declining U.S. Birth Rate | Econofact

The U.S. birth rate has fallen by 20% since 2007. If sustained, this could impact economic growth, productivity, and social insurance programs down the line.

True. There are multiple reasons for declining birth rates among US White people. Of course, White hating Racists will leap upon the news with glee and put their retarded spin on the statistics.

It not my premise young child. It is the facts shown by data. Western Civilization doesn't have the problem. AsIans, blacks, and Hispanics in America are part of western civilization and don't have this problem.

“Facts shown by data” like the fact the black birthdate has declined even more than the white birth rate?

The paper finds total fertility figures declined for all women from 2.046 children born per woman in 1992 to 1.657 in 2022; 1.978 to 1.568, respectively for Whites; and 2.416 to 1.639, respectively for Blacks.”

The new Avatar movie is rumored to make less than the others. Maybe a sign of less white people or they are getting smarter.
Fire and Ash grossed just $12 million on its opening day preview. This is a lot less than the $17 million Avatar: The Way of Water grossed on its first Thursday night in 2022.

Wrong, and this thread is not about blacks. Stay on topic and face the problem whites have. Because more blacks are being born than are dying.

It’s just more people “identifying as black”. Diversity also means fewer black people. More interracial births, equals less actual black people.

Not really the jobs lost are useless government jobs and 3 million illegals deported. All new jobs are private sector jobs. Job losses in the private sector started at the end of Bidens disaster. 800,000 jobs never existed. Every job report under Biden as revised down as much as 40%.
Trump is taking us from a government funded debt based economy to private sector wealth based economy. Private jobs will surge next year as tax cuts kick in and manufacturing increases

I am referring to private jobs added - not public. We are averaging adding 52k per month while last year we added 144k per month to this point. So that sucks. Then you add on the public sector which is real jobs not fake jobs. They will be real unemployed people. So we are seeing fewer private jobs added and less public jobs. It is a recipe for disaster. At this point I can only surmise Trump is trying to ruin the economy.

As I just mentioned! Had I seen that, I would have left this thread to die. Oh well.

On top of that, those of us who don't see race or care about it, are likewise fully aware that future generations of Americans will be like the generations before them, a melting pot.

I mean, c'mon, was Obama really "black?"

He is like SOOOOOOO many other Americans these days, white relative and a black relative, or like Tiger, Asian relative and black relative.

Anyone with a black relative and other relative is still black? Nah, they are like everyone else here, American.
