Cook County Has Largest Density Of Black Americans SLIDESHOW: Disastrous Floods Hit Northern Illinois CHICAGO (AP) ― Cook County's black population of 1.4 million gives the county the largest concentration of blacks in the country. New U.S. Census Bureau statistics for 2006 reveal that nearly 10 percent of the counties in the country have populations that are more 50 percent minority, or "majority-minority." That includes Cook County, where non-Hispanic whites are 45 percent of the total population of 5.3 million. Blacks are 26.4 percent and Hispanics are 22.6 percent of the total. Observers point to immigration and higher birth rates among blacks and Hispanics as the reason for the population changes. Nationally, the number of minorities topped 100 million for the first time in 2006 -- about a third of the population. The Census Bureau projects that minorities will account for half of U.S. residents by 2050. (© 2007 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved
