The Christian Science Monitor website reports today (May 17, 2012) that -- for the first time -- more than half of children in the United States under the age of one are members of minority groups, according to US Census Bureau data released today.
The agency's estimates show that as of July 2011, 50.4 percent of the nation's under-one babies were minorities (considered anyone who is not non-Hispanic, single-race white).
This is up from 49.5 percent in the 2010 Census.
Overall, minorities constitute more than one-third of the US population.
