Graphic by me, created with excel using US Census data from each metro area here (example NYC Metro): https://censusreporter.org/profiles/31000US35620-new-york-newark-jersey-city-ny-nj-metro-area/

Some notes…

  • NYC and DC are the only two metros to have double digit percentages of the 4 main groups

  • Minneapolis is the only metro to have single digit percentages of all minority groups

  • The "other" category is almost entirely made up of mixed race, with native or islander being under 1% combined for most cities

  • "Hispanic" includes Hispanic of any race. For example you can select "Hispanic" and then also check white, black, or asian

  • All race data from the US Census is self-reported/identification

  2. Riverside?? Is that a metro area I’m supposed to know about!?

  3. I like it! simple, easy to read, lots of information.

  4. Not relevant to the data, but as a European I can’t help but find the idea amusing that Hispanic is a separate race from white people. If there ever was an argument that races are a social construct, this is it.

  5. At some point those grey boxes will be bigger than anything

  6. What category does the Jewish population of nyc fall under?

  7. Portland Oregon is the whitest place in the world, has to be more that 67%

  8. The Bay has as many Asians as Baltimore has Blacks. Yup, checks out.

  9. It’s kinda wild how the New York metro area is almost 43% white when the city itself is like 30%. Those suburbs are really white it seems lol.

  10. Damn this is so clean, love it. In fact it’s so good that you’ve inspired me to make one for my own country

  11. Honestly very surprised (and maybe disappointed) by Minneapolis. Having lived in the city, so not the burbs, it feels diverse with large Somali and Hmong populations. But that just goes to show *less* diverse the suburbs are that they cancel out.
