That’s an important topic to research! Thanks for sharing.

Even better than the 5% one. The concentration in the black-soil agricultural belt and the cities that absorbed the Great Migration becomes even more evident.

Delaware takes the crown with all (3!) counties covered. Louisiana almost takes the crown, but misses one county. 😭 Mississippi, whizh is actually the “blackest” state in the United States, has a few counties unshaded.

I’m surprised Los Angeles and SoCal in general don’t have that much African American population. As non American, I got impression from pop culture that those regions are important cultural center for Blacks. At least more than Sacramento.

People are quick to call the south east racist, but it appears the rest of y’all have a diversity issue.

Some fucked up info about that grey county south of the words “colorado springs” on the map:
“Census data for Crowley County includes 1,955 prisoners. The prison population is 19.23% Black, and 24.35% Hispanic. **Without the prisoners, Crowley County would be 86.72% White, 0.36% Black, and 21.55% Hispanic.** As a percentage of its population, **Crowley County has more of its Census population in prison than any other county in the country.”**

Now i want one for 20%.
So weird how the dark counties pretty much exactly follow the eastern foothills of the Appalachians from south to north.
Should be noted, since people are asking about San Francisco and Los Angeles, they used to have larger black populations.
San Francisco’s population has been declining every decade since the 80s, and the black population was nearly 20% in Los Angeles in 1970.
It would be good to have a map with both African and Latino Americans shown with the same percentage.
Tomorrow it will 20% or 100%?
It’s pretty interesting that the Appalachian mountains are starkly visible due to the lack of slavery utilized.
What’s that grey county in the middle of West Virginia? Charleston?
Ah no wonder all those hurricanes keep going that way.
The line of the Appalachian mountains in NC/VA etc is crazy, very interesting.
The gray county in the middle of Kansas is the location of a big Army base. Fort Riley.
