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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of Non-Hispanic Black population, exceeding 50%, form a prominent belt across central and southwestern Georgia—consistent with the historical Black Belt region—with numerous zip codes in and around Albany, Macon, and Augusta reaching near-majority or majority levels. Northern Georgia, particularly the mountainous northeast and northwest corners, displays consistently low percentages below 5-10%, creating a stark demographic contrast with the central and southern portions of the state. The Atlanta metropolitan area exhibits significant intra-urban variation, with some zip codes approaching or exceeding 50% while adjacent areas fall below 15%, reflecting the metro's well-documented patterns of residential segregation.
