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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The central corridor of South Carolina stretching from the Midlands through the Pee Dee region exhibits consistently high Non-Hispanic Black population percentages, with numerous zip codes exceeding 50%, reflecting the historically significant Black Belt demographic pattern. The northwestern Upstate region, particularly around Greenville and Spartanburg, displays markedly lower concentrations, with many zip codes falling below 10%, creating a stark contrast with the rest of the state. Coastal zip codes present a mixed pattern, with pockets of high concentration near Charleston and Beaufort interspersed with lower-percentage areas along the Grand Strand and barrier islands.
