This week’s #MakeOverMonday data talks about the racial breakdown in each state in the United States of America. Only five states and one US territory (Puerto Rico) have more than 50% (of its) population identifying with a race other than White.
Main, West Virginia, and Maine are the states with the highest proportion of the white population, accounting for nearly 93% of the total, while California has the lowest proportion of the white population in the country. Hawaii has the most number of Asians in the country, accounting for 39% of the Asian population.
The District of Columbia has the highest proportion of Black people, with 45% of the state’s population comprising of them. Almost half of New Mexico’s population identifies as being Hispanic. The populations in Texas and California are 40% Hispanic.
