White Deaths Exceed Births in One-Third of
Rogelio Sáenz and Kenneth M. Johnson 2016

In 2014, deaths among non-Hispanic whites exceeded
births in more states than at any time in U.S. history.
Seventeen states, home to 121 million residents or
roughly 38 percent of the U.S. population, had more deaths
than births among non-Hispanic whites (hereafter referred
to as whites) in 2014, compared to just four in 2004. When
births fail to keep pace with deaths, a region is said to have
a “natural decrease” in population, which can only be offset
by migration gains. In twelve of the seventeen states with
white natural decreases, the white population diminished
overall between 2013 and 2014.
