California has gotten me used to seeing Hispanics and Asians everywhere, so I'd go through withdrawal syndrome in another place. I REALLY MISS Asians when I leave CA.

White Non-Hispanic (93.6%)

Unsurprisingly, we also do not lock our doors really and the county is mostly crime free.

Arlington County

68.9%   White

I can't find my town on Google so I'm making this up from observation:

White: 75%
Asian: 20%
Indian: 2.5%
Everything else: 2.5%

My part of town is lily white.  The other side of town is mostly Asian.  The two or three black families are scattered (nowhere near me).

The ward I live in is over 95% white (won't give the exact figure). There's a chance that I might be moving to a ward with a Pakistani majority next year.

I dont know the exact figures, but for my borough here it is:

39.4% White
32.5% South Asian
21.6% Afro-Caribbean
3.7% Mixed race
2.8% Chinese

Do you know what ward you're in? If you do I can find the figures.

These are from 2000, it's probably more minoritized by now...

    * White Non-Hispanic (60.8%)
    * Hispanic (22.7%)
    * Black (11.6%)
    * Other race (10.0%)
    * Two or more races (3.4%)
    * Asian Indian (0.9%)
    * American Indian (0.8%)
    * Chinese (0.8%)
    * Other Asian (0.6%)

Seeing as the ward is the one that covers most of Bradford City Centre, that's not exactly appropriate humour at the moment (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/4452626.stm) :P

Very near me probably about 60-70% Thai, 30-40% falang.

96% Black (non Hispanic).

1% White.

I'm in the other 3%.

96% White
1.6% Black

My street is 100% white. :(

None of this is the ethinic composition- it is the racial composition.  There are many brands of cracker and different versions of fence climbers;)  My neighborhood is mostly Irish and Italian American.  From my travels throughout the U.S. ethnic identity seems a lot more important in the NE of the US.

Saanich racial composition:

White - 86.3%
Asian - 12.2%
Black - 0.6%
Hispanic - 0.4%

We also apparently only have 95 people in Saanich who are Arabs; I guess this explains the lack of terrorism around here. :P

Racially, I'd suppose we were about 99% White as a neighborhood. Ethnically, I'd imagine we are very mixed as most of the growth of our town can be attributed to the construction of a large factory near us back in the 70s and 80s. Just to guess, I'd say we have alot of Eastern Europeans and a good bit of Irish and English people. Very few Italians.

Revised mine.

40% Hispanic (most of these are Mexicans)
35% White, Not Hispanic (All mixed up)
9% East Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese)
7% African-American
3% Hmong
1% Filipino
1% Native American
1% Armenian
1%  Other South East Asian - Thai, Laotian, Vietnamese, Khmer
0.6% Sikh-Punjabi South Asian
0.5% Iranian
0.5% Arab
0.4% Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Indian-Hindu

Close to 98% white.

Scotland has a very tiny (by European standards) non-white or non European community.

White: 87.1%
Black or African American: 4.1%
American Indian and Alaska Native: 0.2%
Asian: 5.0%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander: 8 people
Some other race: 1.9%
Hispanic: 4.8%

Of the ethnic whites I'd say mostly Irish, Italian, German, Polish, and Eastern European Jews.

If we're going to get that specific. Across the street from me there is a gay couple, a pakistani family, and an elderlyish Italian couple. Next door on the left is a caucasian family, and on the right are a common law (I think) caucasian couple without children. 

Mine is, too.  Of course, I'm part of that 100%...

If the 100% is a rounded figure though, and the street had more than 200 inhabitants...

About 8.  Some of them are really from a school for troubled boys that's nearby so really only about 6 black kids.

It's weird.

Btw.  I think that .01% Pacific Islander is my neighbor (one of those that lives behind you...)

Great site :)

Cool, could you possibly explain the "deprivation section" of the statistics.

http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/AreaProfile1.do?tab=4

Those are the results for my area, I am not entirely sure what some of the numbers mean, haha.

Of the three indices they've got in the little box, the first means that Lewisham is the 57th most deprived local authority in England (see the little scale thingy just above that) when everything is taken into account and averaged, the second means that it's the 23rd most "income deprived" (this is the closest to the measure of poverty in the U.S, btw) LA, and the last one means that it's the 37th most deprived for employment.

First figure is the St Clements ward of Oxford, and the second one is Oxford as a whole.

White; British      72.97   76.75

Thanks. Hmmm, didn't realise Lewisham was so far down the scale in England.

It's largely because of Deptford IIRC

Quite possible.

You can always move if that's too white for you.

Such things do not exist.... ;)

I plan to move outta here as soon as im 18. I need a mix of races, cultures, and religion, and im afraid that rural 99.8% white, 99% Christian (60% catholic, 40% Lutheran) doesnt quite meet that mark. ;)

It is nice to have some mix, but I do think that on the whole, "diversity" is overrated.  I have no problem with diversity if it doesn't require me to sacrifice quality of life, but in reality, it often does, unfortunately, and this is the unpalatable fact that many people like to gloss over.

My neighborhood is completely white.  Although here in New York, it's extremely diverse.

84.78% White
9.38% African American
0.86% Native American
2.09% Asian,
0.03% Pacific Islander,

Not true at all, many minorities here in CA are more economically ambitous and upward mobile than the actual native whites, mostly Asian and South Asians. Especially noted in places like San Jose.

That's great, but those aren't the minorities that people generally refer to when they talk about the need for 'diversity.'  'Diversity' is effectively pushed as a charitable measure to aid disadvantaged minorities.

We don't really have that many blacks for that kind of 'diversity', so we go by a different definition. Our disadvantaged are the Hispanics largely and they are becoming more upward mobile as well.

Good.  I like upward mobility.  I hate categorizing people as 'minorities' because it implies that they are permanently different.  'Minority' status should only be temporary.  For blacks, it seems at this point to be permanent, and I think that's very tragic.

Blacks are quite different from other minorities and probably would require different approaches.

My Census tract: White 94.0%, Black 3.0%. Contrast with my city: White 34.4%, Black 61.4%. Segregation is alive and well.

Most people live in the neighborhoods or cities they are most comfortable with. Races and different ethnicities naturally segregate themselves from those that are different then them.

Here's my Census Tract:

White 80.9
Black or African American 8.0
American Indian and Alaska Native 0.4
Asian 7.4
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander 0.0
Some other race 1.2
Two or more races 2.0
Hispanic or Latino (of any race) 3.7

True, but whatever we've been trying obviously hasn't been working.

simply use mass immigration from latin america and asia to reduce the percentage of black americans in the population. Sure that may not solve the problem but at least it makes it not be so urgent.

I found some information on the actual town Fezzy and I live in:

Caucasian     90%
  Black    2%
  American-Indian    0%
  Asian    8%
  Other    0%

lol

Scary, huh?

Rin-chan

Finally found some info.

White: 74.3
Black or African American: 3.2
American Indian and Alaska Native: 5.8   
Asian: 8.6
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander: 0.6
Some other race: 1.4
Two or more races: 5.9   
Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 4.6

That's not too "bad."  Washington gets "worse."

The town I grew up in had two black families and a dozen or so asian families out of ~20,000 people.

Where I live now:
43% White
37% Black
24% Hispanic

Well, I live in Mexico City, so you'd think it should be nearly 100% Hispanic, though, obviously, Mexican census doesn't collect such data. In fact, by the US definition of the term it, probably, is: almost all people here could claim to be Mexican. On the other hand, this has nothing to do w/ race: the most common ancestry, at least among the old-timers here is, probably, German (some local business names are Kafe Klatsch, Pateleria la Vienesa, Unser Kluv bar, etc.). So, how should we count that?

Since about a quarter of the people here aren't even citizens (and thus won't be counted in any census) and a good chunk probably aren't counted as residents here, any such "official" figure would be worthless and rather off. But I'd guess something like this:

80% White
5% African-American*
5% Somali
5% Pakistani
3% Asian
2% Hispanic**/Other

*I'm not using this as some sort of PC term, but rather to distinguish them from Somalis, as the two groups are quite different and typically don't associate with each other.

**Note that both I and the census consider Hispanics to be white. The 80% figure should read White Non-Hispanic, like on City Data.

For Sterling Heights:

As of the census2 of 2000, there were 124,471 people, 46,319 households, and 33,395 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,311.6/km² (3,397.0/mi²). There were 47,547 housing units at an average density of 501.0/km² (1,297.6/mi²). The racial makeup of the city was 90.70% White, 1.30% African American, 0.21% Native American, 4.92% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 0.34% from other races, and 2.50% from two or more races. 1.34% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. There is a large Chaldean community situated in an area bounded by 15 and 17 Mile Roads, between Dequindre and Mound Roads, however the area also includes a large number of ethnic Arabs.

For East Lansing:

As of the census2 of 2000, there were 46,525 people, 14,390 households, and 5,094 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,596.7/km² (4,136.6/mi²). There were 15,321 housing units at an average density of 525.8/km² (1,362.2/mi²). The racial makeup of the city was 80.91% White, 7.40% African American, 0.33% Native American, 8.21% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, 0.95% from other races, and 2.12% from two or more races. 2.69% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

99 percent white. Typical rural North in that regard, albeit with a much higher than normal percentage of people of Scandanavian descent.

Most posts seem to quote their city statistics which are really too broad to count as a neighborhood. Better is to use the census tract with usually a few thousand people. Here's mine from the 2000 census.

Population: about 7000.
Hispanic or Latino: 53 % (29% born in Mexico).
Black and Asian: 1 % each.

Hmm all this time I thought I was in Massapequa Park zipcode wise, but considered Massapequa.  I'm still in the Mass PK zipcode, but considered East Massapeua instead in the CDP and Censues.  East Massapequa tends to be slpit into two school districts (its acually 3 as a very small part is Farmingdale, but thats about 5% of the town or so).  generally speaking the Massapequa school district portion of the town was considered Massapequa park, as that was the zipcode was (mine including, and part of it Massapequa & Massapequa zipcode.  What was considered East Massapequa was the area that was in the Amittyville school district.  As it turns out despite having a Mass Pk zipcode, I'm actually considered East Massapequa.  The racial divide in the twon is quite evident, and pretty much split between the two districts.  The Massapequa  side of the town (my portion) is extrememly white 96% total, non-hispanic wite about 93%, less than 1% black, 3% hispanic, 2-3% asian (which was similar to the breakdown of my precient & census data as well which is afew pages back).  Also as far as ancestories in the part of East massapequa where I live has a higher concentration of Italians & Irish than what is listed for east Massapequa as a whole & lower concentration fo West Indian, etc.   The Amityville portion of the town is very racially diverse about 42% white, 38% black 16% hispanic, 4% asian.  As a whole the Massapequa SD is about 64% of East Massapequa, the Amityville district about 31% or so, & farmingdale about 5%.

The census is supposed to count all de facto residents: citizens, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, temporary residents - everyone.  In 2000 I was counted as resident in NYC, even though I was on a non-immigrant (student) visa and was about to leave the country for good. In fact, I don't even remember them asking me about my residence status.

My village is suburban and is mostly upper class.  Therefore (to be stereotypical), it is mostly white with some genious east asian/indian families.
