The population in the US will continue growing and become more diverse. By 2050, the white population will decrease to 50% while the Hispanic population increases to 21% and Asian population to 14%. More people will live in coastal areas, especially in California where the Hispanic population will more than double. Households will also become more diverse with fewer married couples and more non-family living arrangements. Work will also become more customized with more contingent and part-time work arrangements. Leisure will increasingly focus on memorable experiences as a form of the growing experience economy. This document provides an overview of trends in demographics, households, work, and leisure that will impact recreation and boating in the US in the coming decades.
