But don’t disregard it. This may just be the most important map of the United States available.
Here’s the technical details (From Brookings Institute):
Source: William H. Frey analysis of US Census population estimates, 2018
A group is highly represented if its share of the area population is larger than its share of the national population for Hispanics (18.3%), blacks (12.5%), and Asians, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (5.9%) and at least 4% for American Indians/Alaska Natives, or persons identifying as multiracial
*Non Hispanic members of group
**Two or more minority groups are highly represented or persons identified as multiracial are highly represented

Remember that in the 1920’s non-Hispanic whites were 88.5% of the population whereas Hispanics were 1.2%.
Even as late as the 1960’s, Hispanics were only about 3% of the population. Now they are likely around 20%.
“Other race” was also practically 0% until the 1980’s. Now it’s 6.2%. Non-Hispanic whites are barely holding onto their 60% total.
Wonder why the culture has shifted so quickly? There’s your answer.
