Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York City, and other areas of the New York metropolitan area, are home to by far the largest Russian population in the United States. The Russian American population is reported to be 3.13 million. Many Russian Americans do not speak Russian, having been born in the United States and brought up in English-speaking homes. In 2007, however, Russian was the primary spoken language of 851,174 Americans at home, according to the U.S. Census.
Russia is one of the few countries in the world with a negative growth rate, -0.02%, a decline that started in mid 1990s. This is a common phenomenon among former Soviet states. A factor of this is the death rate being greater than the birth rate. Compared to US, the death rate in Russia is almost two times higher. There are 14 in every 1000 people dying every year in Russia on an average, versus 8.4 for US. 80% of the Russian population and 80% of the US population is composed of Russians and white respectively. The rest is Tatar, Ukrainian, Bashkir and Chuvash for Russia, and black, Asians, American Indians, Alaskan, Hawaiians and Pacific islanders for US.
