Population Non-Hispanic American Indian % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Michigan

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of Non-Hispanic American Indian population are heavily clustered in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, particularly in the eastern portion near Sault Ste. Marie and the central-western areas, where several zip codes exceed 20-50% — likely corresponding to tribal reservation lands such as those of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. The Lower Peninsula stands in stark contrast, appearing almost uniformly at or near 0%, with only scattered zip codes in the northern Lower Peninsula showing marginally elevated percentages in the 1-5% range. This geographic dichotomy underscores how Michigan's Indigenous population remains overwhelmingly concentrated in the Upper Peninsula's federally recognized tribal areas, with minimal representation across the state's more densely populated southern regions.
