摘要：The United States and the United Kingdom are often considered the two most similar of developed countries. Many typologies of national systems used in political science, social science, and urban analysis categorize the United States and the United Kingdom together, and contrast their social, political, and cultural character to groups of other developed nations in Europe and elsewhere. Those similarities—and the two nations’ equally evident differences— make them a rich field for comparative demographic research and policy analysis. Based on census data from the two countries, this study employs basic demographic analysis to probe the extent of the similarities and differences between the two countries. An understanding of who Americans and Britons are and how they have changed during the last few decades is essential for understanding social and urban issues and policy in the two countries.
