-- the 2020 U.S. Population is more racially and ethnically diverse than 2010 -- examine demographic diversity thousands of geographic areas -- interactive table showing diversity and race/ethnic composition for all congressional districts & congressional communities October 2023 .. based on the 2020 Census the Diversity Index for the 118th Congressional Districts ranged from 12.5% (Kentucky 05) to 78.5% (Hawaii 02). Use the interactive table below to view, rank, compare, each/all the Diversity Index by 118th Congressional District and Congressional Community. View the diversity characteristics and race/ethnic composition for your congressional district .. click here. The Diversity Index tells us how likely two people chosen at random will be from different race and ethnicity groups. For example, in 2010, there was a 54.9% chance that two people chosen at random would be from different racial and ethnic groups, while in 2020 there was a 61.1% chance. People may have different perceptions of what it means for a population to be diverse. Here, the concept of racial and ethnic diversity refers to representation and the relative size of different racial and ethnic groups within a population. Diversity is maximized (a value of 100.0) when all groups are represented in an area and have equal shares of the population. Among states, the 2020 diversity index ranged from 18.5% (Maine) to 76% (Hawaii).

Demographic Analytics .. goto top The Demographic Analytics (DA) tool is used to create the diversity index and related demographic attributes for wide-ranging geography. See details about how the diversity index is computed below. DA has been used to compute the Diversity Index (DI) dataset used to develop the interactive table below. View the DI in the DA narrative comparative analysis profile. For example, the diversity index in 2020 was 64.8% for Phoenix, AZ compared to 61.5% for Maricopa County, AZ.

Congressional Communities & Diversity .. goto top The diversity of a congressional district typically varies widely throughout the district. Diversity by congressional community, subdivisions of congressional districts, can better document/describe the diversity throughout a congressional district. Congressional Communities (CCs) are mutually exclusive geographic areas, generally sets of contiguous census blocks, that nest within a congressional district (CD) and fully, exactly exhaust all of the congressional district area. For example, use the table below to determine that there are 17 CCs comprising California CD 47 .. that have a diversity index ranging from 35.6 to 72.1.
