Race Demographics Statistics on Alcoholism & Treatment
Examining Alcoholism Statistics by Race
The United States Census Bureau publishes that around one-third of the American population is comprised of an ethnic minority, with Hispanic, African American, and Asian making up the largest groups (other than Caucasian). The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) for 2013 publishes the following statistics on race demographics and addiction rates for adults within the United States.
Addiction Info Based on Race and Ethnicity
In general, the 2016 NSDUH reports that the average past-year rate of addiction for Americans aged 12 and older was 5.6%. Ethnic minorities may face higher rates of addiction than national averages suggest due to poor living conditions; limited access to specialized care; and elevated social, economic, emotional, and environmental risk factors.
