Population Distribution
The nation's American Indian, Eskimo and Aleut resident
population grew by more than 300,000 between April 1, 1990 and July 1, 1999, to 2.4
million. <http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/1999/cb99-101.html>
The American Indian, Eskimo and Aleut resident population has grown more rapidly than
the nation's population as a whole in the 1990s - 16.0 percent versus 9.7 percent
between April 1, 1990 and July 1, 1999. <http://www.census.gov/Press-
Release/www/1999/cb99-101.html>
Despite its steady growth over the last five years, the nation's American Indian, Eskimo
and Aleut population remained at 0.9 percent of the total population on July 1, 1999.

The nation's American Indian, Eskimo and Aleut resident population is young, with an
estimated median age on July 1, 1999, of 27.6 years - nearly eight years younger than
the median for the population as a whole. <http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/
1999/cb99-101.html>
According to middle-series population projections, the nation's American Indian, Eskimo
and Aleut resident population will grow to 3.1 million by 2020. This means that this race
group should see its population increase faster over the next two decades than either
Whites or African Americans but more slowly than Hispanics (who may be of any race)
or Asians and Pacific Islanders. <http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/cb96-36.html>
There were an estimated 161,000 American Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts age 65 and over
and 20,000 age 85 and over residing in the United States as of July 1, 1999. Projections
