Abstract:

The cultural mix of North Carolina's population is changing, but white and blacks still remain the largest groups, with blacks being the largest minority at 21.6 percent. However, other population groups, including Asians and Hispanic/Latinos, are increasing in the state. This growing diversity will offer challenges to state and local governments in areas including education, housing, health, and criminal justice. The article includes a table of state population by county and racial or ethnic group and definitions of each racial or ethnic group.
