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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Non-Hispanic Black population concentrations are most prominent in zip codes within the Sacramento metropolitan area, the San Francisco Bay Area (particularly Oakland and Richmond), and portions of Los Angeles County including Inglewood, Compton, and surrounding communities, where several zip codes reach 15–30% or higher. The vast majority of California's zip codes—especially across the Central Valley, rural northern regions, and coastal areas—register below 5%, reflecting the highly urbanized and geographically concentrated distribution of the state's Black population. A notable inland cluster appears near military installations such as Edwards Air Force Base in the high desert, consistent with the demographic footprint of Department of Defense communities.
