Non-Hispanic Whites Drop In Population In Triad's Bigger Cities
Winston-Salem, NC -- For the first time, Non-Hispanic Whites make up less than half the population in the Triad's two largest cities.
According to the US Census, in Greensboro, 49.1% of the population is White, while around 38% is African-American.
Hispanics make up nearly six percent.
In Winston-Salem, Whites make up about 48%, while African-Americans are at about 35%.
Hispanics make up more than 14%.
That's the highest percentage of Hispanic population in any city in the state.
In the past five years, the Hispanic population grew more than one percent a year.
Hispanic community leaders attribute the growth to opportunity available in Winston-Salem and North Carolina.
City leaders, like Mayor Allen Joines, are not surprised by the growth.
"We've been recognizing that Winston-Salem is a very diverse and growing diverse city. So, I think we are working towards embracing all the different cultures that are here."
According to Census estimates, 70% of Hispanics in Forsyth County older than 18 are not US citizens.
