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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of Non-Hispanic Black residents in Rhode Island are clustered in Providence's urban core zip codes, particularly in the central and southern sections of the city, where several zip codes reach roughly 15–30% or higher. Nearly all zip codes outside the Providence metropolitan area—spanning the western rural interior, the southern coast, and the islands—register below 5%, reflecting stark racial geographic segregation across the state. A modest secondary concentration appears in portions of the East Bay corridor near Pawtucket and Central Falls, though at considerably lower levels than Providence's peak zip codes.
