Population Non-Hispanic Black % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — San Diego Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of Non-Hispanic Black residents in the San Diego metro cluster in a corridor stretching from central San Diego through the areas just south and east of downtown, particularly around the neighborhoods near National City and parts of southeastern San Diego, where percentages appear to reach roughly 10–20%. Suburban and inland communities such as Santee, Poway, Encinitas, and Chula Vista register notably lower shares, generally below 5%, as do the rural and exurban zip codes in the northeastern portion of the metro. The overall pattern reflects a sharp urban-suburban divide, with Black population share dropping off quickly outside a relatively compact set of central and south-central zip codes.
