 The U.S. today is a melting pot of cultures, thanks to rapid ethnic and racial diversification of the past four decades. If the trend continues, America will be more colorful than ever by 2044, at which point no single ethnic group will constitute the majority in the U.S. for the first time. 
 
 But with immigration reform still a hot-button issue, the U.S. ethnic landscape may change again in the near future. In the meantime, WalletHub took a snapshot of America’s current cultural profile, comparing more than 500 of the largest U.S. cities across three key indicators of cultural diversity. We examined each city based on ethnicity and race, language and birthplace. Read on for our findings, expert insight from a panel of researchers and a full description of our methodology.

 Ask the Experts 
 
 Cultural diversity has both positive and negative implications. For more insight, we asked a panel of experts to weigh in with their thoughts on the following key questions: 
 
 What are the main benefits of living in an ethnically diverse city? What are some potential challenges of living in an ethnically diverse city? What does it mean for residents when a city’s ethnic composition changes rapidly? What are some tips for managing a culturally diverse workplace? What kinds of programs should state and local governments develop in order to promote the benefits of cultural diversity? 
 
 Methodology 
 
 In order to determine the most culturally diverse places in America, WalletHub compared 501 of the most populated U.S. cities across three key metrics: 1) Ethnoracial diversity, 2) Linguistic Diversity and 3) Birthplace Diversity. Our data set, each metric’s subcomponents and its corresponding weight are listed below. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with 100 representing the most cultural diversity. 
 
 We then determined city’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its “Cultural Diversity Score” and used the resulting scores to rank-order our sample. 
 
 Each city in our sample refers to city proper and excludes the surrounding metro area. We limited our sample to no more than 10 cities from each state and categorized them according to the following population sizes: 
 
 Large city: More than 300,000 people 
 
 Midsize city: 100,000 to 300,000 people 
 
 Small city: Fewer than 100,000 people 
 
 This analysis was conducted using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index method, which is a commonly accepted measurement of market concentration that also works effectively as a general-purpose measure of diversity.

 A new U.S. Census Bureau report released today provides an in-depth analysis of the nation’s population looking forward to 2060, including its size and composition across age, sex, race, Hispanic origin and nativity. These projections are the first to incorporate separate projections of fertility for native- and foreign-born women, permitting the Census Bureau to better account for the effects of international migration on the U.S. population. 
 
 According to the report, Projections of the Size and Composition of the U.S. Population: 2014 to 2060: 
 
 The U.S. population is expected to grow more slowly in future decades than it did in the previous century. Nonetheless, the total population of 319 million in 2014 is projected to reach the 400 million threshold in 2051 and 417 million in 2060. 
 
 Around the time the 2020 Census is conducted, more than half of the nation’s children are expected to be part of a minority race or ethnic group. This proportion is expected to continue to grow so that by 2060, just 36 percent of all children (people under age 18) will be single-race non-Hispanic white, compared with 52 percent today. 
 
 The U.S. population as a whole is expected to follow a similar trend, becoming majority-minority in 2044. The minority population is projected to rise to 56 percent of the total in 2060, compared with 38 percent in 2014. 
 
 While one milestone would be reached by the 2020 Census, another will be achieved by the 2030 Census: all baby boomers will have reached age 65 or older (this will actually occur in 2029). Consequently, in that year, one-in-five Americans would be 65 or older, up from one in seven in 2014. 
 
 By 2060, the nation’s foreign-born population would reach nearly 19 percent of the total population, up from 13 percent in 2014.

– By the year 2060, 36% of America's kids under the age of 18 will be what the Census Bureau deems "single-race non-Hispanic white," down from 52% today. The shrinking percentage is thanks to what WalletHub calls the country's "rapid ethnic and racial diversification" over the past 40 years. The site took a look at more than 500 of the nation's biggest cities across three key metrics (language, ethnicity and race, and where its residents were born) to find the most culturally diverse cities in America. The findings: Most Diverse Cities Jersey City, NJ Gaithersburg, Md. Germantown, Md. Silver Spring, Md. Spring Valley, Nev. New York City Oakland, Calif. San Jose, Calif. Rockville, Md. Kent, Wash.
