Population Non-Hispanic White % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Detroit Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Detroit metro area exhibits stark racial segregation, with the city of Detroit and its immediate northern suburbs displaying the lowest non-Hispanic white population shares—often below 20%—while surrounding suburban communities in western Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties consistently exceed 70-80%. Dearborn stands out as a notable exception to the suburban pattern, with pockets of lower white percentages likely reflecting its substantial Arab American population. The sharpest demographic boundary runs along Detroit's western and northern city limits, particularly evident in the abrupt color transition between the deep purple zip codes of Detroit and the bright green-yellow zones of Livonia, Farmington Hills, and Sterling Heights.
