Hey, that's an awesome birthday present for them to give me!

640,000... To keep two black majority districts, you'd need to pull in another 70k blacks from somewhere, and even then you'd need to find a way to split the black population very evenly to get two barely majority black districts. Doesn't really sound doable at all, IMO.

The Boston Globe has some nice Massachusetts maps, for those who want to delve deeper into that state's data:

LOL @ the two towns with -100% change in black population: presumably, the only black family in town moved out.

Anybody know why Ft Worth grew by 39% - well above the Tarrant growth rate? Incorporations, or is there something else afoot?

"Fort Worth's sharp population growth was tempered by the more than 30 square miles the city annexed over the last decade."

Ft. Worth's expansion in the last decade also pushed it a bit into Denton, Wise, and Parker Counties, which also contributed to the city outpacing Tarrant County.

I looked around and couldn't find anything more than the 90% SF ward. Closest was an 88% ward in Manhattan's Chinatown.

Can anyone find high (over 40%) Asian tracts outside the West Coast and the urban areas? I find one 54% outside Philly and several over 40%, up to 49%, in MontCo, MD.

In Georgia, there are >40% Asian tracts in the northeast Atlanta suburbs.

In Louisiana, there are two Asian majority tracts in far eastern Orleans Parish (basically on the edge of the bayou) and Baton Rouge suburbia has a 41% Asian tract.

In Texas, Fort Bend County has plenty of Asian tracts, including one that's 67% Asian. A bunch in Houston suburbia too, up to 71% Asian. College Station has a 41% Asian tract.

NoVA has a few, too; and IIRC there's an Asian tract near Charlotte, NC. (edit: yep, at 41%. Also I see some Asian areas outside of Detroit, too)

You must be logged in to read this quote.

That surprised me. While looking at that, I also saw one in Athens.

Gwinnett County has pretty sizable Vietnamese, Korean, and Hmong communities. The Athens tract is right by UGA so it's probably students.

[Bacon King]

GA-5 is urban. But yeah, most of Atlanta's black growth has been in the suburbs.
