Georgia’s Non-Hispanic Black Population, from 2010 to 2020

While any time is a good time to celebrate the state’s Black community, February always gives us a chance to do what we enjoy most — making interactive maps that help us understand how things are today and how they have changed over time. The series of maps and data explorer that follow use 2020 Census data at the tract level. The 2010 and change figures are also calculated to apply to the 2020 tracts, even though the original (2010) boundaries are different.

The next two maps show the share of Black residents at the 2020 Census tract level throughout the state. We can see that there is a pretty stable spatial pattern, with large clusters in our urban areas and in the counties of Southwest Georgia.
