why they move outta Houston?
The Great migration is always fascinating to me (for those who don’t know it’s when African Americans moved north to cities for better opportunities, though they still faced much discrimination regardless).
It also really shows the urbanization of the U.S. from 1900 to today.
The percentages became more geographically spread out, but also much patchier due to migration into cities.
Showing as % of population makes it hard to see where they went.
I think that the map should show % of the entire African American population in the US
In the United States:
1900: the African American population was about 8.8 million, roughly 11.6% of the total U.S. population.
2020: the Black or African American population (alone or in combination, depending on census category) was about 47–48 million.
“Black alone” population: about 41.1 million (~12.4%)
“Black alone or in combination with another race”: about 46.9 million (~14.2%)
The large increase reflects overall U.S. population growth, urbanization, migration from the South during the 20th century.
Are they moving, mixing, or just sort of being diluted by other groups?
Not touching Idaho with a 10 foot pole
Did black people just move up North from Kentucky to Midwestern cities? And is there a particular reason why this is the part of Black America which seems to have emptied the most?
The word is demography, not geography
What’s the story with the strip near Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa that almost disappears by 2020?
This is irrelevant to the topic but why do (mostly) white people say blacks instead of black people?
What’s going on with that population in central Washington in 1900?
Who was in southern Wyoming in the 1900s?
I’m more surprised at how little change there is considering the time frame of over 100 years.

This migration pattern is many things, but in part it is a direct response to terrorism.
This map doesn’t really show where black folks migrated to. It just shows percentage of the black population.
Is this all the black people in America (including American Africans) or just the African Americans? Talking as an outsider so I wouldn’t even know if recent immigrants from Africa even influence the total
Little Dixie along the Missouri River in the middle of the state has changed.
I would like to see a crime map overlayed with this. I’m sure there will be some “coincidences”
Bounced TF outta Appalachia. Lol. Don’t blame’em.
What’s with Arizona?
SW Michigan just north of the Indiana border is on one of the Underground Railroad routes to Detroit and then Canada. Black farmers and families began to settle there. Visible in the 1900 map. Some of the old family farms persist.
