“When you’re living in the middle of a moment in history, you don’t realize how profound it is, how it’s changing everything. We are all in the midst of living through this amazing demographic change in our country. Every single day that passes we are leaving a different America behind and creating a new one.”

AMERICA BY THE NUMBERS WITH MARIA HINOJOSA is a new PBS documentary series—the first to focus on the dramatic demographic shifts currently taking place in this country. As we explore underreported stories from every corner of the nation, we reveal the human face of the biggest population change in U.S. history. The new American mainstream—the growing number of Asians, Latinos, African Americans, mixed race, immigrants, women, youth, and LGBT—is influencing elections, culture, commerce, and every facet of contemporary life. We investigate these dynamic developments using infographics, statistical analysis, in-depth reporting, and compelling storytelling with anchor and executive producer Maria Hinojosa.
