WherePeopleLive

Where People Live maps the race and ethnicity of the United States using official U.S. Census Bureau data, from whole states down to individual city blocks. ZOOM FROM STATES TO BLOCKS Start with the whole country, then zoom in to see counties, census tracts and, in every state plus D.C. and Puerto Rico, 2020 Census blocks. Each area is colored by its largest group, so patterns stand out at a glance. ONE DOT PER PERSON Zoom in close and the map turns into a dot map: one dot for every person (or every few people when zoomed out). Dots skip parks, schools, airports and other land where nobody lives. TAP ANY AREA FOR THE FULL BREAKDOWN Tap a state, county, tract or block to see its population and the share of each group: Hispanic or Latino, White, Black, Asian, American Indian & Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander, Other race, and Two or more races. SEARCH CITIES AND ADDRESSES • Browse more than 32,000 cities, towns and census-designated places. Search, filter by state, city size or group share, and sort by population or any group's share. • Look up an address to open the exact 2020 Census block it's in. • Start the map on your own area, or jump there anytime. SHARE WHAT YOU FIND Share any view or area as a link. It opens in the app, or on wherepeople.live for anyone without it. DATA YOU CAN TRUST • States, counties, tracts and places: American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates • Blocks: 2020 Census redistricting data (P.L. 94-171) • Address matching: U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder All groups except Hispanic or Latino are non-Hispanic, as in Census tables. FREE AND PRIVATE No ads, no account, no tracking. Your location is optional and used only to show the map there. Where People Live is for anyone curious about the communities around them: students, teachers, journalists, researchers, planners and the simply curious.
