The 10 Whitest States in America





Amid a lot of playfulness and fun, some population statistics and nice scenery.

Vermont is a paradox, for being rabidly liberal, they are one of the most non-diverse and exclusively white states.

I took the time to summarize the top 10:

10. South Dakota, 82%
9. Wyoming, 84%
8. Kentucky, 85%
7. North Dakota, 86%
6. Iowa, 87%
5. Montana, 88%
4. New Hampshire, 91%
3. West Virginia, 94%
2. Vermont, 95%
1. Maine, 97%




I looked up Florida, and even Florida's over 81% white (as of the most recent 2005 statistics offered), which surprised me because it seems much more diverse than that. Although South Florida is probably more diverse than the rest of the state. Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties are much more international, relative to the central and northern parts of the state, that remain much more rural, midwestern and... well... rednecky.

I thought I'd posted the flipside of the coin, the "10 blackest states". But apparently I didn't, so here it is:

Same guy, same mixture of statistics and playful silliness.

And what the hell, while I'm at it:
