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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of Non-Hispanic Black residents cluster sharply in New York City—particularly in parts of Brooklyn, the Bronx, and southeastern Queens—where several zip codes exceed 50% and a few approach near-total concentration. Secondary clusters appear in upstate urban centers including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany, though at notably lower intensity, generally ranging from 15–40%. The vast majority of the state, particularly rural upstate and exurban regions, registers below 5%, underscoring a stark urban-rural demographic divide and the highly localized nature of Black residential concentration across New York.
