Where is Santa Clara County? I assume you aren't using non hispanic whites to differentiate between minority and non minority?

[Miles]

Good job.

Shouldn't Robeson County, NC be on one of the lists?

According to DRA its:

27.0% White
24.1% Black
8.1% Hispanic
37.9% Native American
2.9% Other

That should put it above LA County and Queens County on the Minorities >70% list.

[RI]

Santa Clara County is plurality white, so it wasn't included in the lists. I can make a list of >50% minority including white plurality counties.

Good job.

Shouldn't Robeson County, NC be on one of the lists?

According to DRA its:

27.0% White
24.1% Black
8.1% Hispanic
37.9% Native American
2.9% Other

That should put it above LA County and Queens County on the Minorities >70% list.

It is, but its median household income doesn't put it in the top 10 on the >70% list. It was at $29,667.

Ok, I see.

Essex County, NJ is pretty polarized. The high median income is from some of the suburbs that have little in common with Newark and Irvington.

Essex County, NJ is pretty polarized. The high median income is from some of the suburbs that have little in common with Newark and Irvington.

This is true, but incomplete.

Most of the black areas in Essex County are poor and urban (Newark, Irvington, Orange), and most of the high-income areas are heavily white (Millburn, Livingston, the Caldwells, etc.).

However, in between those two extremes are a few towns which are high-income but also have substantial black populations: Maplewood, South Orange, Montclair, West Orange.  Those four towns have a sizable number of affluent blacks, though I think all of them are white-majority.

And there's even a corner of the county which is neither particularly black nor particularly high-income: the Bloomfield/Belleville/Nutley trio, which is historically heavy Italian/Irish, and is home to a growing number of Hispanics.  Eh, I guess Nutley is somewhat affluent.

The LA black-maj counties are a surprise. It also may be interesting to have a category of native + black + hispanic versus white + asian.
