List of U.S. states by non-Hispanic white population
This is a list of U.S. states by Non-Hispanic whites population. The United States Census Bureau defines non-Hispanic white as white Americans who are not of Hispanic or Latino ancestry (i.e., having ancestry from Spain or Latin America). At 197.2 million in 2012, non-Hispanic whites comprise 62.8% of the total U.S. population. Population by state or territory. In 2020, in 36 out of the 50 US states, non-Latino whites made up a greater percentage of the state's population than the US overall share of 57.8%; however , the 14 states with greater shares of non-whites include the four most populous states (California, Texas, New York, and Florida). The "total" non-Latino white population shrunk between 2010 and 2020 in 34 out of the 50 states, and the "relative share" of non-Latino whites in the overall state population has declined in all 50 states during that same time period. As of 2020, six states are majority-minority: Hawaii, California, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, and Maryland. All of these states saw larger declines in the "relative share" of their non-Latino white populations between 1990-2020 than  the national average of -23.5% with Nevada dropping by -41.7%, California by -39.3% and Texas by -34.5%.
