List of U.S. states and territories by race/ethnicity

Last updated November 13, 2024

This is a list of the 50 U.S. states, the 5 populated U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia by race/ethnicity. It includes a sortable table of population by race /ethnicity. The table excludes Hispanics from the racial categories, assigning them to their own category. The table also excludes all mixed raced/multiracial persons from the racial categories, assigning them to their own category. The information on Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa, add up to more than 100% as the racial data for Hispanics was not broken out separately in the 2020 Census.
