Really? It's the only state in the union that's never had a White majority (as in 50%+ of the population).

The zip code I grew up in could use more Asians and Hispanics (which it has been getting) but still diverse nevertheless.



White population: 11,934
Black population: 19,210
American Indian population: 2,311
Asian population: 1,183
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population: 0
Some other race population: 713
Two or more races population: 1,674
Hispanic or Latino population: 1,741

This statement in the article however, "Ranier View is located about 12 miles Southeast of home city Seattle" is false--it might be 12 miles from downtown Seattle but it's just next to the City of Seattle's boundaries itself.

Treasure Island, SF is a weird one--I sometimes forget that people even live there, though it's going to be much more populated in the future. When I was a kid it was just an old naval base in the middle of the bay, but they recently started having both market rate housing and subsidized housing.

Yeah, that's why I said almost all. And even then, my general point is that these are not the most compact zips. For example, you are not going to find Hoboken on these lists. The Densest zip in Houston consist of a few residential buildings in Greenway Plaza and it's probably the least diverse in Houston. It's about 70% white, 15%black, 13% hispanic and about 2%Asian
