The U.S. population is projected to reach 275 million by 2000 -- a growth of 12 million or 4.5% since 1995. At 19.6 million in 1995, those under age 5 are about as numerous as they have ever been in the last 30 years. They are projected to decline to fewer than 19 million around 2000. The number of people age 65 and over is projected to increase from 39 million in 2010 to 69 million in 2030. The non-Hispanic White share of the U.S. population would steadily fall from 75% in 1995 to 72% in 2000, 64% in 2020, and 53% in 2050. Extensive charts and tables.
