Acknowledgments

This report was prepared by Cynthia A. Brewer of The Pennsylvania State University Department of Geography

while on sabbatical at the Census Bureau's Population Division and by Trudy A. Suchan of the Population

Division. The Demographic Directorate managers who actively worked on the project were Nancy M. Gordon,

John F. Long, James D. Fitzsimmons, and Signe I. Wetrogan. Timothy F. Trainor, Constance Beard, and

Deanna L. Fowler of the Geography Division prepared geographic base linework and discussed details of map

design with the report authors. In the Population Division, Claudette E. Bennett, Nicholas A. Jones, Herbert

W. Thompson, and Kevin E. Deardorff contributed as map topics were developed. E. Marie Pees and Janet

L. Wysocki prepared special data tabulations. Maps were reviewed by Frank T. Gulino, Theresa B. Andrews,

Robert M. Leddy Jr., and Nancy G. Schechtman. 

Benjamin D. Cromer, Nelsa Brown, Janet S. Sweeney and Arlene C. Butler of the Administrative and

Customer Services Division, Walter C. Odom, Chief, provided publications and printing management, graphics

design and composition, and editorial review for print and electronic media. General direction and production

management were provided by Michael G. Garland, Assistant Chief, and Gary J. Lauffer, Chief, Publications

Services Branch.

The authors are grateful to colleagues in the Population Distribution Branch, particularly Pétra Noble who 

prepared, managed, and documented the database that permitted mapping in geographic information 

systems (GIS) software. Thanks to Michael R. Ratcliffe for data checking and to Rodger V. Johnson for 

wording assistance. Thanks also to the others in the work group: Donna L. Defibaugh, Todd K. Gardner,

Colleen D. Joyce, Paul J. Mackun, and Marc J. Perry. 

Kathryn L. Engstrom and Edward Redmond of the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress

aided in the study of approximately 40 atlases during report planning. 

The authors thank David W. DiBiase at The Pennsylvania State University for his many ideas that assisted 

in planning the atlas report. Shaun P. Faith, of Geography's Gould Center at Penn State, assisted with the shaded

relief for the location map. We appreciate Charlie Frye's leadership at Environmental Systems Research Institute

(ESRI) in building cartographic tools into GIS software. Thanks also to the many professional cartographers and

GIS developers who answered our technical questions and gave comments on early design drafts.

About This Report

Mapping Census 2000: The Geography of U.S.

Diversity (Census Special Reports, Series

CENSR/01-1) presents a synthesis of the basic patterns and changes in U.S. population distribution in

the last decade. Each page features county-level

detail for the 50 states, the District of Columbia,

and Puerto Rico. Each page also includes a small

state-level map for a simplified view of the population theme. The Census 2000 data in this report

are based on the U.S. Census Bureau Redistricting

(PL 94-171) Summary File. These data were

released in March 2001 and were sent to each state

for use in redrawing federal, state, and local legislative districts. Use of this source limits the

report themes to total population, race and ethnicity, and population under age 18 (derived from the

voting-age population counts in the redistricting

data). Although potential topics were limited by

this source, Mapping Census 2000 provides a

news-filled first look at diversity and change in the

population. The report presents pairs of maps on

facing pages, often showing a 2000 population

distribution map and a corresponding 1990 to

2000 change in population. The report begins with

general sections on the total population and overall diversity and then systematically maps data for

race and Hispanic or Latino groups.

Race and Ethnicity

Starting with Census 2000, the U.S. Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) requires federal

agencies to use a minimum of five race categories:

White; Black or African American; American Indian

and Alaska Native; Asian; and Native Hawaiian and

Other Pacific Islander. For the Census 2000 questionnaire, OMB approved including a sixth category, “Some other race.” Thus, Mapping Census 2000

uses six race categories. People who marked only

one race on their census form are counted in “One

race” groups. A series of “One race” maps is provided for each race group. Those who marked

exactly one race combined with those who marked

that race and at least one other race are mapped in

the “One or more races” series for each race group.

Individuals who chose more than one of the six

race categories are referred to as the “Two or more

races” population. This group is included on maps

in the Diversity section and as a race group in

Mapping Census 2000.

This report maps four topics — “Percent Change,”

“Percent of Population,” “Percent Under Age 18,”

and “Number of People” — for each race in two

ways. These maps are shown for people indicating

exactly one race and again for people indicating

one or more races. For each race group, a fifth map

topic illustrates the proportion of people who

marked exactly one race compared with all people

who marked that race, either alone or with other

races. For more detail on the Census 2000 race and

ethnicity categories, refer to the Census Bureau

report Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin

(Census 2000 Brief, Series C2KBR/01-1). In other

Census 2000 data products, the “One race” and

“One or more races” groups may be listed respectively as “alone” and “alone or in combination”

population variables.

In the race sections of the report, the 1990 to 2000

change maps compare 1990 data to 2000 “One

race” and “One or more races” groups. Neither

choice is directly comparable to the 1990 data, but

together they offer contrasting understandings of

changes in the U.S. population. There is no 1990

census group suitable for comparison with the

2000 “Two or more races” group because that

information was not collected in the 1990 census.

An additional change in race reporting for Census

2000 was separation of the 1990 “Asian and Pacific

Islander” category into two groups: “Asian” and

“Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.” For

change maps in this report, detailed 1990 data

were reaggregated to create separate “Asian” and

“Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander” groups

for comparison with Census 2000 race categories.

Race and ethnicity data are not available from the

1990 census for Puerto Rico because the questions

on race and Hispanic origin were not included on

the 1990 census form used in Puerto Rico. Because

of the difference in 1990 forms, some 1990 to

2000 change maps in this report show “no data”

for Puerto Rico. In 2000, the same questions on

race and Hispanic origin were asked of people in

the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto

Rico, so all maps of 2000 data include Puerto Rico.

The Census Bureau used two ethnicity categories in

both 1990 and 2000: “Hispanic or Latino” and “Not

Hispanic or Latino.” (The terms “Hispanic or Latino

origin,” “Hispanic or Latino,” and “Hispanic” are used

U.S. Census Bureau Mapping Census 2000: The Geography of U.S. Diversity 1
interchangeably.) Race and ethnicity are considered

two separate concepts, and therefore Hispanics may

be of any race or races. The Diversity section of this

report includes both race and ethnicity categories

together on maps of “Prevalence” and “Diversity”

using the following categories:

• Hispanic or Latino;

• White, not Hispanic or Latino;

• Black or African American ("Black or African

American” and “Black” are used interchangeably);

• American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN);

• Asian;

• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander

(NHOPI);

• Some other race, not Hispanic or Latino; and

• Two or more races, not Hispanic or Latino.

White, Black, AIAN, Asian, NHOPI and “Some other

race” categories include people who indicated

exactly one race. All people who indicated more

than one race are grouped together in the “Two or

more races” category.

For the prevalence maps, people who indicated

Hispanic or Latino and also indicated Black, AIAN,

Asian, or NHOPI are counted in both the Hispanic

or Latino group and in their respective race group.

One-half of one percent of the total U.S. population

(approximately 1.3 million people) is represented

twice in the percentages compared on these maps.

There is no additional overlap among these categories. The eight map categories on the prevalence

maps sum to 100.5 percent of the U.S. population.

Unlike the percentage comparisons for the prevalence maps, the diversity index calculation is compromised when percentages do not add precisely

to 100. Therefore, people who are both Hispanic

and Black, AIAN, Asian, or NHOPI are included only

in their respective race group for the diversity map

calculations. There are a variety of ways ethnicity

may be incorporated with race groups in the calculation of diversity measures. In this report, the calculations for the diversity maps use categories

generally consistent with the prevalence maps with

the goal of producing a coherent report section.

The diversity index mapped is termed Simpson's

Index in biology literature.

Maps

Most of the maps in the report are choropleth maps.

They use colors filling counties or states to represent mapped data values. The map legends (on the

right side of each page) list the range of data values

that each color represents. These data ranges are

termed “classes.” Choropleth maps are well suited to

showing derived values such as percent or density.

They are less appropriate for representing total

numbers of people. They are, however, used for

totals in the atlas for county identification and county-to-county comparisons with other mapped data.

As an alternative to choropleth mapping, the distribution map with symbols proportioned to total

number of people is included to give a better sense

of the overall distribution of population.

Some of the maps have an overlay that masks

counties with very small populations for the group

mapped. For example, the percent change in people of Hispanic or Latino origin is not shown in

counties where there are fewer than 100 Hispanics.

Small populations are masked because they often

produce extreme percent changes, which distract

from understanding the more reliable pattern over

areas with greater numbers of people. Masks for

populations less than 100 are also used for maps

of percent under age 18.

Cartographers employ many strategies for deciding class breaks for choropleth maps. Some of the

basic approaches are to customize breaks using

characteristics of the data values shown on the

map, to use arbitrary round numbers, and to use

breaks that arise from knowledge about the map

topic. An additional criterion is whether comparison between maps is more important than optimizing classes for individual maps. In the report,

comparison between maps is emphasized by use

of the same categories among maps in a series.

The class breaks on the maps were chosen using a

combination of arbitrary rounded breaks shared

between maps and national rates for each topic.

The maps are designed both to aid map comparison and provide critical summary breaks within

maps. For example, the maps of percent of total

population in individual race groups use some

meaningful percentage breaks, such as 50 percent

of the population, and they use the U.S. percent for

the group mapped. They also share breaks at or

near many of the U.S. percents for other groups.

For U.S. percents that are similar for more than one

group, a rounded summary number is used on

most maps (for example, 1.0 percent). This number is then replaced with the exact U.S. percent

when the group is mapped. For example, 1.5 and

0.9 percent replace the 1.0 percent break for

American Indian and Alaska Native maps.

As mentioned, many maps use an overall U.S.

national percent or density as a class break. The U.S.

percent for a group is calculated using populations

for the United States as a whole (for example, the

total population under age 18 divided by the total

U.S. population). Note that these summary numbers

are not averages of state or county percents. The

calculations of the U.S. summary numbers are based

on data from all states and the District of Columbia

but do not include Puerto Rico.

2 Mapping Census 2000: The Geography of U.S. Diversity U.S. Census Bureau
All data were rounded to one decimal before they

were mapped. The minimum and maximum data

values for a topic are used as the lowest and highest values reported in map legends. Large maximums for “Number of People” maps are rounded to

the next highest number with four significant digits. Similarly, when only one state (or the District of

Columbia or Puerto Rico) is represented by a color

on a state-level map, the data value and the state

abbreviation are reported in the legend rather than

a data range (for example, “25.1 (DC)”).

Color Use

The maps present eight different color schemes.

Use of a shared color scheme across a series of

maps signals that they represent similar data. On

many maps, colors are arranged from light for low

data values to dark for high values. Dark purples,

blues, and greens are used for the high values on

maps. On the difference, age, and change maps,

values diverge in two directions from a summary

midrange value. Both ends of the data range are

emphasized with dark colors of two different hues.

Light colors are used on these maps around the

midrange values to emphasize difference from a

U.S. summary rate or zero change. For consistency

with other color schemes, dark purple, blue, and

green hues are maintained for the high values on

maps with diverging color schemes. Low or negative values are shown in pinks, oranges, and

browns. A particular color generally has the same

meaning within a series so that maps are easily

compared. Ranges for colors change when breaks

are adjusted to include U.S. overall rates specific to

the group mapped. For example, a light pink is

used to signal ranges between zero change and the

overall U.S. change for the group mapped, a range

that is different for each change map. In addition,

colors were selected to accommodate readers who

are color blind.

Three different hues in the title bar along the top

of map pages are used to group maps into sets

across atlas sections: maps that involve the total

U.S. population (orange bar), maps that focus on

people who indicated only one race on their census

form (yellow), and maps that include people who

indicated more than one race (pink).

Other Notes

Most map titles list map theme, year(s), and demographic group(s). Legend captions, though sometimes lengthy, provide a more detailed explanation

of the map topic. A map reader will usually begin

by reading the title of the map for the general topic

and then read the legend caption for explicit

details of the data calculation presented on the

map. The specific ranges represented by each map

color are the third level of detail that a map reader

will examine. Interpretive text was not included in

the atlas in order to go to press as soon after the

release of the redistricting data as was feasible.

The authors hope the design fosters interpretation

of the information by analysts in government agencies, academics, journalists, and people at home.

Maps necessarily show generalized information to

emphasize patterns. For the reader interested in

exact data values for the themes mapped, detailed

tables can be found on the Web,

www.census.gov/main/www/cen2000.html. In

addition, American FactFinder on the Web at

factfinder.census.gov provides census data and

mapping tools.

To permit change mapping, previously published

1990 census data were reaggregated to Census

2000 geography. This update affected only five

counties or equivalent entities in the country

(Denali and Yakutat Boroughs, Alaska; Halifax

County, Virginia; and Gallatin and Park Counties,

Montana).

During atlas planning, the authors examined a

wide range of atlases that included population

themes. Some were specific to particular types of

data, and some were country or state atlases.

Examples of previous atlases that include innovative approaches to topics or are good examples of

standard data presentations are listed in the bibliography that concludes this section.

The maps in Mapping Census 2000 were created in

ArcInfo 8 (prerelease v. 8.1) geographic information and mapping software from ESRI in Redlands,

California. Each of the five mapped areas on each

page was drawn using a customized version of the

Albers Equal Area conic map projection.

This map identifies the status of 

counties as either in 

metropolitan areas (MAs) or not 

in MAs for the 1990 and 2000 

censuses. Boundaries of 

individual MAs are not shown. 

Each MA contains a large 

population center and adjacent 

communities that have strong 

commuting ties with that 

center. MAs are defined by the 

U.S. Office of Management and 

Budget and are composed of 

entire counties. For this map, 

New England County 

Metropolitan Areas are used as 

an alternative to the city- and 

town-based MAs in New 

England. Most counties in 

metropolitan areas include both 

urban and rural land uses.

The diversity index reports the 

percentage of times two randomly 

selected people would differ by 

race/ethnicity. Working with 

percents expressed as ratios 

(e.g., 63 percent = 0.63), the 

index is calculated in three steps: 

A. Square the percent for each 

group, B. Sum the squares, and 

C. Subtract the sum from 1.00. 

Eight groups were used for the 

index: 1. White, not Hispanic; 

2. Black or African American; 

3. American Indian and Alaska 

Native (AIAN); 4. Asian; 5. Native 

Hawaiian and Other Pacific 

Islander (NHOPI); 6. Two or more 

races, not Hispanic; 7. Some other 

race, not Hispanic; and 

8. Hispanic or Latino. People 

indicating Hispanic origin who 

also indicated Black, AIAN, Asian, 

or NHOPI were counted only in 

their race group (0.5 percent of 

the population). They were not 

included in the Hispanic group.
