Official US 2010 Census Results

Also, in Mississippi, the black population grew eight times more than the white population.

7.5 times as much, or 6.5 times more than. While the nonhispanic black population grew by minus 11.5 times as much as the nonhispanic white population, as that actually fell.

Which really just teaches to not use such comparisons for low-growth phenomena at all. Never, ever.

Data are on factfinder now.

Since Va. CDs have already been linked to, here's the other three states.

Louisiana CD1 687k, CD2 493k, CD3 637k, CD4 667k, CD5 644k, CD6 727k, CD7 677k
Mississippi CD1 788k, CD2 668k, CD3 757k, CD4 754k
Jersey CD1 669k, CD2 692k, CD3 680k, CD4 725k, CD5 667k, CD6 669k, CD7 673k, CD8 660k, CD9 661k, CD10 634k, CD11 674k, CD12 702k, CD13 685k

The population of Mississippi outside of DeSoto (suburban Memphis), Rankin, Madison (suburban Jackson), Lamar (suburban Hattiesburg) and any number of random fifth county that grew by a couple of thousand people say Lafayette, fifth largest growth among top 20 counties anyhow (centred on the town of Oxford), actually fell.

Walpack township, New Jersey...

1970   384      54.8%
1980   150      −60.9%
1990   67      −55.3%
2000   41      −38.8%
Est. 2006   40      −2.4%
2010         16

Okay, this requires an explanation. The wiki article doesn't even begin to give one. It grew until 1970. Mining?
Meanwhile, some magazine named it the 18th best place to live in NJ in 2008. Seems the residents don't agree.

It seems the National Recreational Area is what the gov't decided to do with the land after they abandoned the dam project.

...though Allegheny did so by 0.2%

Hispanic share almost doubled - Hispanic population more than doubled. Black share also rose. State is now down to 55% Anglo.

...though Allegheny did so by 0.2%

Hispanic share almost doubled - Hispanic population more than doubled. Black share also rose. State is now down to 55% Anglo.

The Prince George's County exurban outmigration continues.  The African-American population in neighboring Charles County nearly doubled, while the white population dropped by almost 10,000.  African-Americans make up about 41% of the county's population.   Whites are now barely a majority there, with 50.3%.   Whites continue to leave Prince George's County, too.

I wonder if this reflects the "syndrome" that whites don't want to live with blacks when their percentage in the hood gets "too high," or whether it is more due to differential hood housing demand, with blacks paying a premium to live in high percentage black neighborhoods that are safe and middle class, with decent schools. Does anyone know? Is this more about "racism" or economics is my question. And I have no idea, at least in this neck of the woods (in the deep South I just might assume racism frankly), what the answer is.

Part of it is that whites are leaving Maryland (and much of the Northeast, I suspect) for other areas of the country.  Maryland's non-Hispanic white population dropped by about 32,000 in the last 10 years.  Part is people moving from suburban Prince George's to new exurban developments in Charles County.  Since the overwhelming majority of Prince George's residents are black, it usually logically follows that those moving in to new developments up the road would be of the same race.  And a good part of it is probably simple white flight to other areas of Maryland.  The white population of Charles County's neighbors, St. Mary's and Calvert counties, both rose by over 10,000.

Is there data yet for which states had a net loss of whites?

You'll have to wait until all states are out. Or just go by the estimates.

[minionofmidas]

Not going to check all the others, but Mississippi's certainly fell (by 0.3). I noticed it at the time and doublechecked just right now.

[minionofmidas]

Yes, I was looking at the more standard Hispanic Origin and Race table (table 2). I suggest you do too. -_-

[minionofmidas]

Oooh, South Dakota. Native figures will be interesting.

[minionofmidas]

Self-redesignation as American Indian continues apace in Oklahoma, I see. (One will have to wait until the release of the individual tribes count in a couple of years to see if there's also a population explosion among the more genuinely Indian population.)

[minionofmidas]

Populations of Shannon and Todd didn't rise all that much. Mind you, grow they did. Most rural white counties' populations fell. Some of the smaller rez counties too - Buffalo, Corson, Dewey. Dewey fell by more than 10 while Ziebach grew by as much - what's going on here, intrarez urbanization? (Estimates say that's happening in Navajoland, hence my guess.)
Native share of Rapid City was 10% in 2000 IIRC, over 12 now.

[minionofmidas]

So, where in Texas was underestimated?

[minionofmidas]

I made myself a little excel table of Native population change in South Dakota.

[minionofmidas]

I fully expect a doctrine to emerge that fake Hispanic Republican districts like Sam and Kraven have been drawing for Texas (districts that meet a certain threshold for Hispanic percentage but still can be depended on to vote for their Whites' choice, thanks partly to turnout and citizenship differentials, thanks partly to the fact that Hispanics in some parts of the nation, mostly in Texas, are closer to a fifty-fifty split than Whites) are just as unprotected as fake Coalition districts (where you're adding a White Republican-leaning area and some nearby minority areas, and the result votes Democratic and is plurality White, and a White Democrat wins as a result).
Or rather, the court's will to (quite rightly) consider these things frivolous has evidently emerged already, what's lacking yet is clear legal language.

[minionofmidas]

I made myself a little excel table of Native population change in South Dakota.

And?  Anything stick out other than the Ziebach County anomoly?  Pennington County?

Native increases in Yankton and Bon Homme Counties are certainly puzzling.

I did a sort-of-similar table for Oklahoma, too.

[minionofmidas]

So we' ve just uncovered why the Census Bureau implemented the thing in the first place?

[minionofmidas]

What's the nonhispanic SOR population.

Amazing. I noticed way back in 2000 that Arkansas' Pacific Islander pop. was elevated compared to what I'd expected, but I never guessed it was all in one place, and that not even Little Rock.

[minionofmidas]

I suggest South Carolina census results be embargoed until June 2nd, then.

[minionofmidas]

Its Indian population fell? Lol. What's going on here?

California has a huge number of reservations but most of them are tiny. It also has a lot of people of (often part) native Californian descent who are not members of any recognized sovereign nation and who usually pass as Chicanos for most of their daily lives - a lot of them identify as Native American on Census records though, or at least did in 2000. Actually, quite a few offrez-residing recognized California natives do the same thing.
And needless to say, it has huge numbers of whites with a part Indian great-grandparent, or Whites with an Indian grandparent who're actually registered members of an Indian nation, or Whites with a false family tradition of Indian ancestry somewhere deep in the recesses of the 19th or 18th century. A lot of whom report as Native or more commonly as White and Native. But if those reporting practices were changing, we would have seen that in stats for other states as well, wouldn't we?

[minionofmidas]

Alpine lost population? It has only 1200 people... and that's after some reasonably robust growth in the last few decades. It also has utterly bizarre demographics - it's, like, half Mormon and quarter Peyotist. With no other established place of worship existing in the county (any practicing mainstream Christians probably drive elsewhere.)

[minionofmidas]

That rate of growth means LA County loses almost an entire district. (From 14.9 to 14.0.)


Looking at the California racial table, I realize that the detailed count of tribal identifications from the 2000 Census did not include any Hispanic data - that is, people who identified as Indian only on the race question, wrote in one of the relevant California tribal groupings (Chumash, Diegueno, what have you), and also checked Hispanic Origin would have been undistinguishable in that table from those who did not identify as Hispanic. Given the large numbers of Cherokee, Sioux, Blackfeet (why is Blackfeet such a popular identity with fake Indians? That would be worth a study...) in the state, and the fact that half its Indian population also identifies as Hispanic makes you wonder if most of the California Natives of that class that I described above weren't already being counted as Hispanic. Though maybe it was most before and almost all now, who knows. One would have to take a very close look at community-level figures to find out. (of course, a lot of those Native Hispanic repliers are Mexican Indigenas. Interesting factoid: Mexicans living near Indian reservations are somewhat more likely to identify as Indian - perhaps the presence of Natives in the vicinity raises self-awareness of Native ancestry?)

The non-hispanic Native alone or in combination population also rose, just barely. So 17,000 new part-Indian identifiers, despite the Anglo population also falling. Hmmm...

[minionofmidas]

The drop from 14.9 to 14 has to mean that a Dem loses a district, right? I don't know if the Republicans living in LA County can be drawn out so easily

No, no it doesn't. Not necessarily, anyways. Dreier's district hugging the hills is a gerrymandered monstrosity and quite marginal even as is - though congressional patterns in that kind of area lag presidential ones. And Rohrabacher's strange appendage into LA County won't survive the new redistricting law, he'll go back to OC where he belongs. Which also loses a quarter district.

[minionofmidas]

It's called "misremembering". Basically my brain plotted its 1970-2000 growth as evenly distributed.
