About This Report
Mapping Census 2000: The Geography of U.S.Diversity (Census
Special Reports, SeriesCENSR/01-1) presents a synthesis of the
basic pat-terns and changes in U.S. population distribution inthe
last decade. Each page features county-leveldetail for the 50
states, the District of Columbia,and Puerto Rico. Each page also
includes a smallstate-level map for a simplified view of the
popula-tion theme. The Census 2000 data in this reportare based on
the U.S. Census Bureau Redistricting(PL 94-171) Summary File. These
data werereleased in March 2001 and were sent to each statefor use
in redrawing federal, state, and local leg-islative districts. Use
of this source limits thereport themes to total population, race
and ethnic-ity, and population under age 18 (derived from
thevoting-age population counts in the redistrictingdata). Although
potential topics were limited bythis source, Mapping Census 2000
provides anews-filled first look at diversity and change in
thepopulation. The report presents pairs of maps onfacing pages,
often showing a 2000 populationdistribution map and a corresponding
1990 to2000 change in population. The report begins withgeneral
sections on the total population and over-all diversity and then
systematically maps data forrace and Hispanic or Latino groups.
Race and Ethnicity
Starting with Census 2000, the U.S. Office ofManagement and
Budget (OMB) requires federalagencies to use a minimum of five race
categories:White; Black or African American; American Indianand
Alaska Native; Asian; and Native Hawaiian andOther Pacific
Islander. For the Census 2000 ques-tionnaire, OMB approved
including a sixth catego-ry, Some other race. Thus, Mapping Census
2000uses six race categories. People who marked onlyone race on
their census form are counted in Onerace groups. A series of One
race maps is pro-vided for each race group. Those who markedexactly
one race combined with those who markedthat race and at least one
other race are mapped inthe One or more races series for each race
group.Individuals who chose more than one of the sixrace categories
are referred to as the Two or moreraces population. This group is
included on mapsin the Diversity section and as a race group
inMapping Census 2000.
This report maps four topics Percent Change,Percent of
Population, Percent Under Age 18,and Number of People for each race
in twoways. These maps are shown for people indicatingexactly one
race and again for people indicatingone or more races. For each
race group, a fifth maptopic illustrates the proportion of people
whomarked exactly one race compared with all peoplewho marked that
race, either alone or with otherraces. For more detail on the
Census 2000 race andethnicity categories, refer to the Census
Bureaureport Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin(Census 2000
Brief, Series C2KBR/01-1). In otherCensus 2000 data products, the
One race andOne or more races groups may be listed respec-tively as
alone and alone or in combinationpopulation variables.
In the race sections of the report, the 1990 to 2000change maps
compare 1990 data to 2000 Onerace and One or more races groups.
Neitherchoice is directly comparable to the 1990 data, buttogether
they offer contrasting understandings ofchanges in the U.S.
population. There is no 1990census group suitable for comparison
with the2000 Two or more races group because thatinformation was
not collected in the 1990 census.
An additional change in race reporting for Census2000 was
separation of the 1990 Asian and PacificIslander category into two
groups: Asian andNative Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.
Forchange maps in this report, detailed 1990 datawere reaggregated
to create separate Asian andNative Hawaiian and Other Pacific
Islander groupsfor comparison with Census 2000 race categories.
Race and ethnicity data are not available from the1990 census
for Puerto Rico because the questionson race and Hispanic origin
were not included onthe 1990 census form used in Puerto Rico.
Becauseof the difference in 1990 forms, some 1990 to2000 change
maps in this report show no datafor Puerto Rico. In 2000, the same
questions onrace and Hispanic origin were asked of people inthe 50
states, the District of Columbia, and PuertoRico, so all maps of
2000 data include Puerto Rico.
The Census Bureau used two ethnicity categories inboth 1990 and
2000: Hispanic or Latino and NotHispanic or Latino. (The terms
Hispanic or Latinoorigin, Hispanic or Latino, and Hispanic are
used

interchangeably.) Race and ethnicity are consideredtwo separate
concepts, and therefore Hispanics maybe of any race or races. The
Diversity section of thisreport includes both race and ethnicity
categoriestogether on maps of Prevalence and Diversityusing the
following categories:
Hispanic or Latino;
White, not Hispanic or Latino;
Black or African American ("Black or AfricanAmerican 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 otherrace categories
include people who indicatedexactly one race. All people who
indicated morethan one race are grouped together in the Two ormore
races category.
For the prevalence maps, people who indicatedHispanic or Latino
and also indicated Black, AIAN,Asian, or NHOPI are counted in both
the Hispanicor 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 representedtwice in
the percentages compared on these maps.There is no additional
overlap among these cate-gories. The eight map categories on the
prevalencemaps sum to 100.5 percent of the U.S. population.
Unlike the percentage comparisons for the preva-lence maps, the
diversity index calculation is com-promised when percentages do not
add precisely
to 100. Therefore, people who are both Hispanicand Black, AIAN,
Asian, or NHOPI are included onlyin their respective race group for
the diversity mapcalculations. There are a variety of ways
ethnicitymay be incorporated with race groups in the calcu-lation
of diversity measures. In this report, the cal-culations for the
diversity maps use categoriesgenerally consistent with the
prevalence maps withthe goal of producing a coherent report
section.The diversity index mapped is termed Simpson'sIndex in
biology literature.
Maps
Most of the maps in the report are choropleth maps.They use
colors filling counties or states to repre-sent mapped data values.
The map legends (on theright side of each page) list the range of
data valuesthat each color represents. These data ranges aretermed
classes. Choropleth maps are well suited toshowing derived values
such as percent or density.They are less appropriate for
representing totalnumbers of people. They are, however, used
fortotals in the atlas for county identification and
coun-ty-to-county comparisons with other mapped data.As an
alternative to choropleth mapping, the distri-bution map with
symbols proportioned to totalnumber of people is included to give a
better senseof the overall distribution of population.
Some of the maps have an overlay that maskscounties with very
small populations for the groupmapped. For example, the percent
change in peo-ple of Hispanic or Latino origin is not shown
incounties where there are fewer than 100 Hispanics.Small
populations are masked because they oftenproduce extreme percent
changes, which distractfrom understanding the more reliable pattern
overareas with greater numbers of people. Masks forpopulations less
than 100 are also used for mapsof percent under age 18.
Cartographers employ many strategies for decid-ing class breaks
for choropleth maps. Some of thebasic approaches are to customize
breaks usingcharacteristics of the data values shown on themap, to
use arbitrary round numbers, and to usebreaks that arise from
knowledge about the maptopic. An additional criterion is whether
compari-son between maps is more important than opti-mizing classes
for individual maps. In the report,comparison between maps is
emphasized by useof the same categories among maps in a series.The
class breaks on the maps were chosen using acombination of
arbitrary rounded breaks sharedbetween maps and national rates for
each topic.
The maps are designed both to aid map compari-son and provide
critical summary breaks withinmaps. For example, the maps of
percent of totalpopulation in individual race groups use
somemeaningful percentage breaks, such as 50 percentof the
population, and they use the U.S. percent forthe group mapped. They
also share breaks at ornear many of the U.S. percents for other
groups.For U.S. percents that are similar for more than onegroup, a
rounded summary number is used onmost maps (for example, 1.0
percent). This num-ber is then replaced with the exact U.S.
percentwhen the group is mapped. For example, 1.5 and0.9 percent
replace the 1.0 percent break forAmerican 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 populationsfor the United States as a whole (for example,
thetotal population under age 18 divided by the totalU.S.
population). Note that these summary numbersare not averages of
state or county percents. Thecalculations of the U.S. summary
numbers are basedon data from all states and the District of
Columbiabut do not include Puerto Rico.

Census Bureau
-
All data were rounded to one decimal before theywere mapped. The
minimum and maximum datavalues for a topic are used as the lowest
and high-est values reported in map legends. Large maxi-mums for
Number of People maps are rounded tothe next highest number with
four significant dig-its. Similarly, when only one state (or the
District ofColumbia or Puerto Rico) is represented by a coloron a
state-level map, the data value and the stateabbreviation are
reported in the legend rather thana 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 ofmaps signals that they represent
similar data. Onmany maps, colors are arranged from light for
lowdata values to dark for high values. Dark purples,blues, and
greens are used for the high values onmaps. On the difference, age,
and change maps,values diverge in two directions from a
summarymidrange value. Both ends of the data range areemphasized
with dark colors of two different hues.Light colors are used on
these maps around themidrange values to emphasize difference from
aU.S. summary rate or zero change. For consistencywith other color
schemes, dark purple, blue, andgreen hues are maintained for the
high values onmaps with diverging color schemes. Low or nega-tive
values are shown in pinks, oranges, andbrowns. A particular color
generally has the samemeaning within a series so that maps are
easilycompared. Ranges for colors change when breaksare adjusted to
include U.S. overall rates specific tothe group mapped. For
example, a light pink isused to signal ranges between zero change
and theoverall U.S. change for the group mapped, a rangethat is
different for each change map. In addition,colors were selected to
accommodate readers whoare color blind.
Three different hues in the title bar along the topof map pages
are used to group maps into setsacross atlas sections: maps that
involve the totalU.S. population (orange bar), maps that focus
onpeople who indicated only one race on their censusform (yellow),
and maps that include people whoindicated more than one race
(pink).
Other Notes
Most map titles list map theme, year(s), and demo-graphic
group(s). Legend captions, though some-times lengthy, provide a
more detailed explanationof the map topic. A map reader will
usually beginby reading the title of the map for the general
topicand then read the legend caption for explicitdetails of the
data calculation presented on themap. The specific ranges
represented by each mapcolor are the third level of detail that a
map readerwill examine. Interpretive text was not included inthe
atlas in order to go to press as soon after therelease of the
redistricting data as was feasible.The authors hope the design
fosters interpretationof the information by analysts in government
agen-cies, academics, journalists, and people at home.
Maps necessarily show generalized information toemphasize
patterns. For the reader interested inexact data values for the
themes mapped, detailedtables can be found on the
Web,www.census.gov/main/www/cen2000.html. Inaddition, American
FactFinder on the Web atfactfinder.census.gov provides census data
andmapping tools.
To permit change mapping, previously published1990 census data
were reaggregated to Census2000 geography. This update affected
only fivecounties or equivalent entities in the country(Denali and
Yakutat Boroughs, Alaska; HalifaxCounty, Virginia; and Gallatin and
Park Counties,Montana).
During atlas planning, the authors examined awide range of
atlases that included populationthemes. Some were specific to
particular types ofdata, and some were country or state
atlases.Examples of previous atlases that include innova-tive
approaches to topics or are good examples ofstandard data
presentations are listed in the bibli-ography that concludes this
section.
The maps in Mapping Census 2000 were created inArcInfo 8
(prerelease v. 8.1) geographic informa-tion and mapping software
from ESRI in Redlands,California. Each of the five mapped areas on
eachpage was drawn using a customized version of theAlbers 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.

indexes. "Two or more races" and "Some other race" groups
weresummed to produce a singlegroup for 2000. "Asian" and "Native
Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" groups were created for 1990
from detailed race data. These adjusted groupings produced
comparable indexes calculated from seven groups for both 1990 and
