• Forty million Americans move every year from one place to another
• Ten million move from one state to another and 30 million move within the state
• Race and ethnicity are changing rapidly
• Sixty out of 1,000 white women of childbearing age will have a child in any given year; 63 black women out of 1,000 will have a child; and 84 out of 1,000 Hispanic women will give birth.
• In the future, Hispanics and Asians will account for 61 percent of population growth in the U.S.
• California will add 12 million Hispanics and six million Asians by 2025
• Texas and Florida will add 8 million more Hispanics.
• The U.S. is heading toward a population that is "increasingly Hispanic and increasingly poor.
• Due to immigration and high fertility, half of all school children will be non-Anglo American by 2025.

 Racial lines are becoming blurred. At least 40% of all Americans have had some racial mixing in the last three generations. Children of Hispanic immigrants, for instance, are marrying non-Hispanics 35% of the time.  Nothing is distributed evenly across the United States, not race, not religion, not age, not fertility, not wealth.  Racial distribution will also differ greatly from state to state. Race and ethnicity statistics will be increasingly hard to interpret.
