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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The San Diego metro exhibits a pronounced north-south gradient in non-Hispanic white population share, with coastal and northern inland communities like Encinitas and the areas north of Poway reaching 60–80%+, while southern communities including National City, Chula Vista, and the southernmost zip codes fall below 20%. A notable cluster of low non-Hispanic white percentage also appears in central urban San Diego, particularly in zip codes surrounding National City and extending into parts of southeastern San Diego. The large eastern inland zip codes maintain moderate shares in the 40–60% range, creating a broad transitional zone between the whiter northern/coastal areas and the more diverse southern border region.
