Abstract
This chapter introduces various demographic facets of baby boomers of color. According to the 2011 U.S. Census, no racial or ethnic group of color has more than 10% of its population in the boomer category, with Asians/Pacific Islanders (9.8%) having the largest percentage of boomers, followed by African Americans (9%), Latino/as (6.1%), and American/Alaskan Natives (0.9%). In 2008 almost 60% of Asians, Hawaiians, and Pacific Islander older adults lived in three states: California, Hawaii, and New York. African Americans, however, had a wider national distribution, with 50% living in eight states, including New York, Florida, and California. The remainder of the chapter discusses how the boomer generation is best understood within the context of two powerful and distinct demographic trends in the United States: the nation is graying (getting older) and also becoming more diverse ethnically and racially, that is, browning.
