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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians reservation in east-central Mississippi—centered around Neshoba, Leake, and Newton counties—stands out prominently, with several zip codes exceeding 15–25% Non-Hispanic American Indian population, forming the state's only significant concentration. The rest of Mississippi is overwhelmingly below 1%, rendered in deep purple, with only faint traces of slightly elevated percentages in a few scattered zip codes in the northeast corner and along the Gulf Coast. This sharp spatial contrast underscores the highly localized nature of the American Indian population in Mississippi, almost entirely tied to the Choctaw tribal lands.
