US-Counties, in denen der afroamerikanische Bevölkerungsanteil 20 % oder mehr beträgt

This series of maps is very interesting. I learned that the county that is 10-15 minutes west of my hometown has 1% or less black population. My hometown has a 70% black population. Such a drastic difference in such a short distance.

This map is so off

Only the most and the least populated counties in the Birmingham MSA are at 20% or more (MSA is seven counties). Makes sense as Bibb is more adjacent to the Black Belt

This series of maps is genuinely so interesting I’ve been checking this sub every day for the new drop lmao

Wonder why there are so many black people in that one county in northwest PA.

Is it the case that there’s not a single 20% Black county west of the 100th meridian?

It’s kind of hard to tell, because the black dots for the cities are easily confused with the gray fill color, but it looks that way.

(Why the 100th meridian? It’s roughly the point where rainfall really drops off; if you look at a physical/satellite map of the US, it goes from eastern green to western brown in a roughly straight line from North Dakota to Texas. Similarly, if you look at a map of population density, there’s a sharp drop-off in that same area; notice the major cities like Austin, OKC, and Wichita all lined up around 97°W, and then not a whole lot until you get close to the Pacific. There certainly wouldn’t have been much slavery-powered agriculture west of that line, given that California was settled fairly late by USAmericans and was always a free state.)

I hope they vote. It’s amazing how many people don’t vote (not just Black voters, all voters).

Time for 50% now
