Black population
Minority demographic group
Black population refers to the number or proportion of Black people living in a particular area.
The term appears frequently in demographic analysis, census data, and discussions of racial composition: The Black population of Atlanta exceeds 50 percent, States with large Black populations tend to have different voting patterns.
The phrase is neutral and statistical, though conversations about Black populations often touch on segregation, migration patterns, and inequality.
