wow intersting statistics. floridda seems to be one of the most diverse states out there.

[M. Brown]

Great info.

[Brickell]

nice.

florida and new york are really close on a lot of these. It won't be long before we're number 3 overall. If only we had a strong source of asian immigrants.

I wasn't expecting florida to be #2 for blacks either.

[RideBikes]

I was also surprised at the diversity of Florida!

[urbanguy]

^Well its up about where it should be as its also the 4th most populous state. Some states either exceed or fall behind in certain categories.

[satalac]

should alaska be at the top of the alaska native list? and shouldn't hawaii be at the top of the pacific islander list? just seems weird that they aren't.

[urbanguy]

^There was a time that Hawaii was but not anymore Hawaii was actually the highest for many ethnic groups back in the day but times change. I don't think Alaska ever was at the top for American Indian/Alaska Native groups though most American Indians live in the western states and well Alaskas but a small state population wise but percentage wise they make up a fairly large portion. BTW most Pacific Islanders in Hawaii tend to mix with other races like most everyone in Hawaii which is also why Hawaii is so high up on the Two or More Races category in Hawaii people are just open minded that way and always have been while in other states its only but a growing phenomenon. So if you were to taken into account those that are part-pacific islander than Hawaii is still #1

[ezcheese]

North Carolina is more diversified and more populous than I thought.

[urbanguy]

Of course these numbers dont tell the whole story cause most states are huge and many minorities seem to gravitate towards major cities versus rural areas unless they are like in agriculture etc which many Hispanics/Latinos from Mexico are and can be found in large numbers in rural places in the west. But even then breaking it down by city or metro does not paint a complete picture as some cities/metros are sprawly/huge in sq miles so everyone ends up being spread out.

[monsoon]

[urbanguy]

^I'm actually surprised too but am really shocked by the large number that live in California i knew there were a lot but over 400,000 sheesh!

True. And if you really want this data to mean anything even at the state level it needs to stardardized otherwise you will mostly just be looking at a ranking based on general population with a few variations of course. Could be really creative and map it out using a graduated color scheme to compare states or even look at regional patterns.

[urbanguy]

The demographics of this country is changing almost dramatically in some cases one can only wonder what the next official census count will look like.

In Hawaii well mainly Honolulu i have seen the Black population grow very fast its almost like just out of no where they are the second fastest growing racial group in the metro in raw numbers and fastest percentage wise from 2000-2003 which is quite amazing for a city that is not known for having a large Black population historically although they have been here since the late 1700s i think? The other is the Micronesians their population is just exploding literally its amazing how fast their population is growing and i bet the census estimates are way low for them as they are harder to keep track because the majority are not considered immigrants and can live, work, and move freely throughout the state and the good ole language barrier many dont speak much english and that group of people speak like over 30 different languages which has put a drain on the state especially since most of their languages are relatively new here so finding qualified interpreters are pretty tough.
