The Black population of the United States is diverse, growing and changing<\/a>. The foreign-born segment of this population has played an important role in this growth over the past four decades and is projected to continue doing so in future years.<\/p>\n

Roughly 4.6 million, or one-in-ten, Black people in the U.S. were born in a different country as of 2019, up from 3% in 1980. By 2060, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that this number will increase to 9.5 million, or more than double the current level (the Census Bureau only offers projections for single race groups).<\/p>\n

Between 1980 and 2019, the nation\u2019s Black population as a whole grew by 20 million, with the Black foreign-born population accounting for 19% of this growth. In future years, the Black immigrant population will account for roughly a third of the U.S. Black population\u2019s growth through 2060, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.<\/p>\n

The Black immigrant population is also projected to outpace the U.S.-born Black population in growth. While both groups are increasing in number, the foreign-born population is projected to grow by 90% between 2020 and 2060, while the U.S.-born population is expected to grow 29% over the same time span.<\/p>\n
