2:10Now PlayingThe 2020 census marks the first time in American history that the white population has seen a decline. Here's what it means for the future. RELATED
The U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday released its latest round of information from the 2020 Census. The data shows changes to the demographic makeup of the country over the past decade, which states will now use to decide congressional redistricting procedures. The results are a snapshot of everyone living in the U.S. on April 1, 2020.
