The world is no longer white, and the ethnic diversity of American suburban residents is becoming more and more diverse.

The suburbs of American cities, which used to be dominated by whites, are now becoming more and more ethnically diverse.

USA-Today quoted Sing Tao Daily as saying that according to a new survey, this change is very common in South America. From 2000 to 2005, the African-American population in southern suburbs increased by 74%, the white population increased by 765,438+0%, the Hispanic population increased by 42%, and the Asian population increased by 27%.

Fay, a demographer at Brookings College, said: "Suburbs and outer suburbs are no longer just attractive to whites, but immigrants of all races are coming in. These areas are a magnet for African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians. The growth of Hispanics and Asians has promoted the development of suburbs in most parts of the United States.

On the other hand, from 1990, the white population in the suburbs began to rise again. For example, Manhattan, new york lost 1.8 million non-Hispanic whites in the 1990s, but it increased by 5 1.5 million from 2000 to 2005. Queens, new york lost175,000 people in 1990s, but in recent years, the loss rate has dropped to the original 1/3. Brooklyn lost 43,000 whites in the 1990s and gained 5,000 after 2000.

In this regard, James Hughes, director of the School of Public Policy and Planning at Rutgers University in NSW, said, "Not only young people like living in Manhattan, but also parents who leave home when their children grow up. Due to soaring housing prices, some people live in NSW, Queens and Brooklyn. "

According to a survey conducted by the CEO of Chicago City Leaders Network for cities at the beginning of this year, young people aged 25 to 34 prefer to live within 3 miles of the central business district. Coleta, chairman of the network, said: "The increase in diversity is good news for everyone. If the poor or ethnic minorities are isolated, it will not be conducive to economic development. "

The survey also shows that more than13 of the Asian population growth in the United States is concentrated in the western metropolitan area. In recent 10 years, 7 1% of the population growth in Northeast China came from Hispanics. The population growth of all ethnic groups in the southern United States is more balanced than that in other regions.
