A Census Factoid
 The Census Bureau's data on income for the Minority population 15 years old and over show an increase of 47 percent, from $0.7 trillion in 1990 to $1.0 trillion in 1998 (in 1998 dollars) This growth was more rapid than that for the non-Minority (non-Hispanic White) population (18 percent). As a result, the Minority share of the total aggregate money income grew from 16 percent to 19 percent during this period.
The Minority population will grow rapidly in the 21st century. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's middle series of the national population projections released in January 2000, the combined race and ethnic minority population will grow from 79 million in 2000 to 178 million in 2045. Minority population growth is equivalent to 86 percent of the total population growth during these 45 years.
