\nThe Black population: a
\nSnapshot.
\n“In the total population, 34.7 million
\npeople, or 12.3 percent, reported only Black. An additional 1.8 million people
\nreported Black and at least one other race. Within this group, the most common
\ncombinations were \u201cBlack and White\u201d (45 percent), followed by \u201cBlack and Some
\nother race\u201d (24 percent), \u201cBlack and American Indian and Alaska Native\u201d (10
\npercent), and \u201cBlack and White and American Indian and Alaska Native\u201d (6
\npercent). These four combination categories accounted for 85 percent of all
\nBlacks who reported two or more races. Thus, 36.4 million, or 12.9 percent of
\nthe total population, reported Black alone or in combination with one or more
\nother races.”<\/p>\n

\nThe Black Population Increased Faster Than the
\nTotal Population Between 1990 and 2000
\n\u201cThe 1990 census showed there were 30.0 million
\nBlacks. Using the Black alone population in 2000 shows an increase of 4.7
\nmillion, or 15.6 percent, in the total Black population between 1990 and 2000.
\nIf the Black alone or in combination population is used, an increase of 6.4
\nmillion, or 21.5 percent, results. Thus, from 1990 to 2000, the minimum-maximum
\nrange for the increase in the Black population was 15.6 percent to 21.5
\npercent. In comparison, the total population grew by 13.2 percent, from 248.7
\nmillion in 1990 to 281.4 million in 2000.\u201d
\nThe Majority of the Black Population Lived in
\nthe South
\nAccording to Census 2000, of all
\nrespondents who reported Black, 54 percent lived in the South, 19 percent lived
\nin the Midwest, 18 percent lived in the Northeast, and 10 percent lived in the
\nWest.<\/p>\n

\n“The places with the largest Black
\npopulations were New York and Chicago.”
\nCensus 2000 showed that, of all places in the United
\nStates with populations of 100,000 or more, New York had the largest Black
\npopulation, with 2.3 million, followed by Chicago (1.1 million). Three other
\nplaces\u2014Detroit, Philadelphia, and Houston\u2014had Black populations between 500,000
\nand 1 million.
\n“Of the ten largest places in the United States,
\nDetroit had the largest proportion of Blacks, 83 percent, followed by
\nPhiladelphia (44 percent), and Chicago (38 percent). Blacks represented less
\nthan 10 percent of the population in Phoenix (6 percent).”

\nAsian
\nAmericans \u201cInstead of the diagrams\u201d
\n“Of the total United States population,
\n10.2 million people, or 3.6 percent, reported only Asian. An additional 1.7
\nmillion people reported Asian and at least one other race.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Within this group, the most common combinations were \u201cAsian and White\u201d
\n(52 percent), followed by \u201cAsian and Some other race\u201d (15 percent), \u201cAsian and
\nNative Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander\u201d (8.4 percent) and \u201cAsian and Black
\nor African American\u201d (6.4 percent). These four combination categories accounted
\nfor 82 percent of all Asians who reported two or more races. Thus, 11.9 million
\npeople, or 4.2 percent of the total population, reported Asian alone or in
\ncombination with one or more other races.”<\/p>\n
U.S. Census 2000
\nThe Asian Population
\nIncreased Faster Than the Total Population Between 1990 and 2000<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 1990 census counted 6.9 million Asians. Using the Asian alone population
\nin 2000, this population increased by 3.3 million, or 48 percent, between 1990
\nand 2000. If the Asian alone or in combination population is used, an increase
\nof 5.0 million, or 72 percent, results. Thus, from 1990 to 2000, the range for
\nthe increase in the Asian population was 48 percent to 72 percent. In
\ncomparison, the total population grew by 13 percent, from 248.7 million in 1990
\nto 281.4 million in 2000.\u201d<\/p>\n
U.S. Census 2000
\nOver Half of All People Who Reported Asian Lived in Just
\nThree States<\/p>\n
\u201cOver half (51 percent) of the Asian population lived in just three states:
\nCalifornia, New York, and Hawaii, which accounted for 19 percent of the total
\npopulation. California, by far, had the largest Asian population (4.2 million),
\nfollowed by New York (1.2 million), and Hawaii (0.7 million). The ten states
\nwith the largest Asian populations in 2000 were: California, New York, Hawaii,
\nTexas, New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, Florida, Virginia, and Massachusetts.
\nCombined, these states represented 75 percent of the Asian population, but only
\n47 percent of the total population in the United States.”<\/p>\n
U.S. Census 2000
\nThe Asian
\nPopulation was Concentrated in Counties in the West, Especially in Hawaii and
\nCalifornia<\/p>\n
\u201cOf the 3,141 counties in the United States, 122 counties had Asian populations
\ngreater than the national average of 4.2 percent, of which 39 counties had at
\nleast twice the national average.\u201d
\n\u201cThe
\noverwhelming majority of counties (2,382) had lower concentrations of Asians
\n(less than 1 percent).\u201d
\n\u201cNot surprisingly, the counties with the highest concentration of Asians (over
\n25 percent) were in Hawaii. Honolulu County, by far, had the highest proportion
\nof Asians (62 percent). Three other counties in Hawaii were more than 47
\npercent Asian.”<\/p>\n
U.S. Census 2000
\n“The two
\nplaces with the largest Asian populations were New York and Los Angeles.”
\n“Census
\n2000 showed that, of all places in the United States with 100,000 or more
\npopulation, New York had the largest Asian population with 872,777, followed by
\nLos Angeles with 407,444. Eight places had Asian populations over 100,000: five
\nin the West, and one each in the Northeast, Midwest, and the South. Of the ten
\nlargest places in the United States, San Diego had the largest proportion of
\nAsians (15 percent), followed by Los Angeles and New York with 11 percent each.
\nAsians represented 1.3 percent of the total population in Detroit, the lowest
\npercentage among the country\u2019s ten largest cities.”<\/p>\n
