The coronavirus pandemic, decreased international immigration, and lower fertility rates — including among Latinas — helped drive what the Census Bureau said is a history-making slowdown in the national population growth.
However, as with women of other racial and ethnic groups, that number has been dropping, said Rogelio Saenz, a professor of demography at the University of Texas at San Antonio.In 2019, Latinas’ fertility rate was 1.93 children per woman, and for 2020, it was just under 1.87. That’s a significant drop from the 2.1 fertility rate for Latinas about five years ago, Saenz said.
But CDC data also showed that in every age bracket, Hispanics have seen more deaths than their share of the U.S. population in the same age group. “So even if you see a drop in fertility among Latinas, the fact that there is a large number of them of childbearing ages, that population will continue increasing at a noticeable rate because of its youthfulness,” Saenz said.

U.S. population grew at record low rate in 2021, in part due to COVID-19The United States' population grew at a slower rate in 2021 than in any other year on record as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the more subdued growth the country has experienced in recent years, the U.S. Census Bureau said. 'The slow rate of growth can be attributed to decreased net international migration, decreased fertility, and increased mortality due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic,' the Census Bureau said on Tuesday. The year 2021 is the first time since 1937 that the U.S. population grew by fewer than 1 million people, reflecting the lowest numeric growth since at least 1900, when the Census Bureau began annual population estimates.
