Countly Level Race Data For Black, Asian and Other Race Only Populations in United States







The three maps that I have constructed show the percentage os specific populations greater than zero in all counties in the continental US.

The first map displays counties that have low to high percentages of black communities. This map shows that there is a higher concentration of Black communities on either coast, and more so on the in the Southeastern United States (31-86%), particularly in the states of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. On the West Coast, Southern California seems to hold the highest percentage of black only populations (between 5-16%).

The Second Map displays Asian only populations in the United States and shows that again these populations are at higher percentages on the coasts. Particularly in Northern central California and the North Eastern United States. There seems to be very little Asian only communities in the geographically larger middle United States.

The third and final map shows other race only populations in the US and displays a high percentage of other races to be in the Western United States and especially in Southern and Central california (22-39%).

(Note: Maps were not attached the first time around for some reason, should now be there)
