Counties with Majority BIPOC Population

Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) are the majority in these counties across the United States.

Identifying which counties have a sufficiently large population of minorities to draw a single member district in which they can elect a candidate of choice is a critical first step to ensuring minority representation.

BIPOC was calculated using the following fields from the PL 94-171 dataset: Hispanic or Latino P0020002, Black or African American alone P0020006, American Indian and Alaska Native alone P0020007, Asian alone P0020008, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone P0020009, Some Other Race alone P0020010, and Population of two or more races P0020011
