In 1980, approximately 20% of adults aged 18-34 were considered minorities, reporting their ethnicity as other than nonHispanic white. By the end of 2013, that percentage had more than doubled. How are minorities between the ages of 18 and 34 distributed in the United States? The table presents the data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
