New Hampshire has joined the ranks of 17 other states experiencing a population shift known as white natural decrease, meaning more white people are dying than are being born in the Granite State.

"It's symbolic of the changing face of America," said UNH professor and demographer Kenneth Johnson, one of the lead researchers on the study. "The United States population is always changing."
