According to the United States Census Bureau, as of July 1, 2022, the white alone population accounted for 75.5% of the US population. However, according to the same source, as of July 1, 2022, the white alone population was 75.8% of the US population. The Brookings Institution reports that the white population share declined by 8.6% since 2010. Pew Research Center reports that the non-Hispanic white population of the US stood at nearly 192.0 million in 2020 and remained the nation’s single-largest racial or ethnic group.

It is important to note that the percentage of the US population that is white has been declining in recent years due to factors such as demographic change and improvements to the design of questions for race and ethnicity.
