Changes since 2010 can be calculated using the 2010 Census data. The 2020 Census Demographic Data Map Viewer is a web map application that includes data from the 2020 Census at the state, county, and census tract levels. The map includes data related to population, race by Hispanic origin, families and households, housing, and group quarters. The map automatically switches from state data to county data and tract data as you zoom in to more detailed scales. The following maps are available within the application: The United States is more diverse and has more people than ever before, with much of the growth occurring in and around metropolitan areas, according to the 2020 census.

By plotting the population onto a map of the country according to density and group, it’s possible to get a bird’s-eye view of where we live and how we identify. The racial dot map of the United States offers a detailed snapshot of the geographic distribution, population density, and racial diversity across the country. Each dot on this map represents one person, providing an accessible visualization of where people live and their racial and ethnic backgrounds. The original map displayed 308,745,538 dots, one for each person counted in the 2010 Census, color-coded by race and ethnicity. The original racial dot map was created by Dustin Cable, a former demographic researcher at the University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. Cable’s project built upon earlier works by Brandon Martin-Anderson from the MIT Media Lab and Eric Fischer, who created social media dot maps.

The map integrated Census Bureau racial data, adding a layer of demographic detail to the geographic visualization. Although the University of Virginia no longer hosts the original map, an updated version using 2020 Census data has been created by Luke Loreti. This map was made by combining two census data sources: the population counts published in the State Redistricting Data and the Shapefiles defining the census’s geographies. The decennial census provides population counts down to the census block level—an area roughly the size of a city block—enabling a fairly high degree of geographic accuracy. Dots are color-coded based on the racial categories defined by the census. The dots within a given census block are placed randomly, which is why you might find some dots in unlikely places like parking lots or bodies of water.

In addition to Luke Loreti’s updated map, a similar dot map created by CNN provides another perspective on racial and ethnic distribution in the United States. By comparing these maps, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of demographic shifts and patterns across the country. Here are some interesting facts about the racial and ethnic distribution in the United States as highlighted by the map: After nine years and millions of views, the 2010 Racial Dot Map has reached its expiration date. We have taken it offline as it no longer provides the most accurate depiction of the nation's population distribution and changing racial composition. Several factors contributed to this decision:

We appreciate that so many of you have been passionate advocates for the 2010 Racial Dot Map and the ways it has helped to promote equity in your communities.

census not only let people check off multiple boxes to answer the race question but also allowed more participants to report detailed responses about their race and ethnicity than past national head counts. For the first time since 1960 — when the Census Bureau started allowing U.S. residents to self-report their identities — the agency asked people who marked the box for "White" and/or "Black" to also fill out a write-in area with their non-Hispanic origins, such as German, Haitian, Irish...
