Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems inconsistent.
For example.
According to the chart for the black population in Florida, Texas, and New York.
Florida has 2.896 million blacks
Texas has 2.857 million blacks
New York has 3.3 million blacks.
But according to the article that Montrose posted earlier, the black population for each of the three states are above 3 million and New York is at 3.5 million. Are they undercounting somewhere or did am I misunderstanding?
Here's that part of the article.
Quote:
The black population increased by 1.3 percent, or 540,000, between 2006 and 2007.
New York had the largest black population in 2007 (3.5 million), followed by Florida and Texas (3 million each). Georgia had the largest numerical increase between 2006 and 2007 (84,000), with Texas (62,000) and Florida (48,000) next. In the District of Columbia, the black population comprised the highest percentage (56 percent); Mississippi (38 percent) and Louisiana (32 percent) were next.
