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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Denver-Aurora metropolitan area stands out as the primary concentration of Non-Hispanic Black population in Colorado, with several zip codes in the northeast Denver corridor reaching approximately 20-30% and at least one zip code approaching 40% or higher, likely corresponding to the Montbello, Green Valley Ranch, or Aurora neighborhoods. A secondary but notably smaller cluster appears in the Colorado Springs–Fountain area in El Paso and Pueblo counties, where a handful of zip codes reach roughly 10-15%, likely influenced by the proximity of Fort Carson and Peterson Space Force Base. The vast majority of the state, particularly the Western Slope, mountain communities, and rural eastern plains, registers at or near 0%, reflecting Colorado's highly concentrated geographic distribution of its Black population.
