As can be seen in the map, the highest percentages of black-alone individuals are concentrated in the southeastern United States. Counties near Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi are colored the darkest, while the majority of the Midwest and the Pacific Northwest contain less than 1.6 percent of black alone individuals.
The Asian population, on the other hand, is largely concentrated on the Western coast of the United States. California contains most of the counties with an Asian-only population percentage of over 3.7 percent.
This map clearly shows that the Western half of the country contains the majority of other race-alone individuals. The highest percentages are also located closest to the Mexican border, suggesting that these individuals might be Hispanic. California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas all contain counties with over 22.2 percent of these individuals.
These census maps provide important data regarding the racial geography of the United States. This information affects fields such as public health, education, and labor policy.
