In 1990, 208 Black, 37 Native American, and 88 Hispanic
counties were identified as having high concentrations of minorities
(one-third or more of the county's population). Taken together,
over 45 percent of rural minorities lived in high-minority counties
along with just 7 percent of the rural non-minority population.
Despite rapid growth and redistribution of minority populations
in many rural areas, especially among Hispanics, the number of
minority counties and the overall share of population groups have
most likely shifted only slightly during the 1990's.
