Population Non-Hispanic Black % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Arkansas

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of Non-Hispanic Black population in Arkansas are sharply clustered in the eastern Delta region along the Mississippi River, where numerous zip codes exceed 50%, and in a belt extending through the south-central part of the state. The northwestern quadrant, encompassing the Ozark Plateau and areas around Fayetteville-Bentonville, registers consistently near 0%, creating a stark east-west demographic divide. A secondary cluster of moderate-to-high percentages appears around the Little Rock–Pine Bluff corridor in the central part of the state, contrasting with the predominantly low percentages across the western and northern Ozark highlands.
