Percentage of Asian Population in Counties, 2000

In my map “Percentage of Asian Population in Counties, 2000”, it displays counties throughout the U.S. and where their Asian populations were distributed in the year 2000. With the exception of California and New York, there are not many parts of the mainland U.S. where there are high concentrations of Asians. This is most likely because the first entrances Asians had into the United States were located at Ellis and Angel Islands, located by San Francisco and New York. When compared to Blacks, Asians were more widely distributed throughout almost all parts of the U.S., not only concentrated in sections of the country. It also seems like there were more Blacks than Asians in the U.S. in 2000. The most interesting part of the map is seeing how dark Hawaii is, which means it possess a high and concentrated Asian population.
