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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Non-Hispanic Black population in Washington is heavily concentrated in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area, particularly in south King County zip codes where percentages reach approximately 15-20%, with surrounding zip codes in the Puget Sound region showing moderate representation in the 5-10% range. A notable secondary cluster appears near Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Tacoma, consistent with military installation demographics. The vast majority of eastern Washington and rural western Washington zip codes register near 0%, reflecting stark racial geographic stratification between the urbanized Puget Sound corridor and the rest of the state.
