How We Determined The Cities In virginia With The Largest Native American Population For 2020

We still believe in the accuracy of data — especially from the census. So that’s where we went to get the breakdown of race across virginia.

That lead us to the Census’s most recently available data, the 2014-2018 American Community Survey data from the US Census.

Specifically, we looked at table B03002: Hispanic OR LATINO ORIGIN BY RACE. Here are the category names as defined by the Census:

• Hispanic or Latino
• White alone*
• Black or African American alone*
• American Indian and Alaska Native alone*
• Asian alone*
• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone*
• Some other race alone*
• Two or more races*

Our particular column of interest here was the number of people who identified as American Indian and Alaska Native alone.

We limited our analysis to places with a population greater than 5,000 people. That left us with 60 cities.

We then calculated the percent of residents that are American Indian and Alaska Native. The percentages ranked from 0.85% to 0.0%.

Finally, we ranked each city based on the percent of American Indian and Alaska Native population with a higher score being more American Indian and Alaska Native than a lower score. Bluefield took the distinction of being the most American Indian and Alaska Native, while Lexington was the least Native American city.
