EXECUTIVE SUMMARYWisconsin’s Racial Diversity Increasing* While Non-white persons are still a small minority of Wisconsin’s population, Non-whites as apercentage of the state’s total population rose from 7.8% in 1990 to 11.1% in 2000. In 2000, 11 Wisconsin counties had populations that were 10% or more minority. By contrast, onlyfive counties fit this description in 1990. The counties with the five largest minority populations as a percentage of the population are:Menominee (88.4%), Milwaukee (34.4%), Sawyer (18.3%), Racine (17%), and Forest (14.1%). From 1990 to 2000, Non-whites grew from 36.6% to 50% of the population in Milwaukee city.Hispanics or Latinos Are Fastest Growing Racial or Ethnic Group in Wisconsin** From 1990 to 2000, the Hispanic or Latino population in Wisconsin more than doubled (107%increase), the biggest increase of any racial or ethnic group in the state. By contrast, the largest racialgroup in Wisconsin, Whites, increased by only 4.8%. The Hispanic or Latino population in Wisconsin was 3.6% of the states’ total population in 2000,compared to 1.9% in 1990. The Hispanic or Latino population in Wisconsin is concentrated in the Southeastern part of the state.Four counties have more than 10,000 Hispanic or Latino persons: Milwaukee (82,406), Racine(14,900), Dane (14,387), and Kenosha (10,757).Black or African American Persons Increased by Nearly 25% Wisconsin’s Black or African American population increased 24.5% from 1990 to 2000. Blacks orAfrican American persons are the second largest racial group in Wisconsin and are 5.7% of the state’stotal population compared to 5% in 1990. The Black or African American population is mostly concentrated in southeastern and south centralWisconsin. The five counties with the largest Black or African American populations are: Milwaukee(231,157), Racine (19,777), Dane (17,067), Kenosha (7,600), and Rock (7,048). Nearly 76% ofBlack or African American persons in the state reside in Milwaukee County alone. Two counties have Black or African American populations that are more than 10% of thepopulation–Milwaukee (24.6%) and Racine (10.5%).
American Indian and Alaska Native Population Increased by 20% The number of people of American Indian and Alaska Native origin increased 19.9% from 1990 to2000 in Wisconsin. They represent 0.9% of the state’s overall population. The largest populations of American Indian and Alaska Native people are in Milwaukee County(6,794) and Brown County (5,191). From 1990 to 2000, the American Indian and Alaska Nativepopulation fell by 2.9% in Milwaukee County and rose 34.2% in Brown County. When considered as a percentage of the total population, northern Wisconsin counties have thehighest percentages of American Indian and Alaska Native persons. Four counties have populationsthat are more than 10% American Indian and Alaska Native: Menominee (87.3%), Sawyer (16.1%),Forest (11.3%), and Ashland (10.3%).Asian Population Concentrated in Pockets in Southern and Central Portions of the State Asians are the third largest racial group in the state of Wisconsin with 88,763 persons. Theyrepresent 1.7% of the state’s total population. Although the Asian population is numerically greatest in southeastern and south central Wisconsin,there are also relatively large numbers of Asian persons in the central and east central regions of thestate. The counties with the five largest Asian populations are: Milwaukee (24,145), Dane (14,735),Marathon (5,715), Waukesha (5,381), and Brown (4,935). Twenty-seven percent of Wisconsin’s Asian population lives in Milwaukee County. MarathonCounty has the highest percentage of Asians (4.5%).Notes:* Two changes in racial classification for the 2000 Census are especially important to keep in mind when interpretingthis data. In 2000, for the first time, the U.S. Census gave people the option to identify themselves as being of two ormore races (multiracial). Only 1.2% of the state’s population chose this option. To simplify presentation, the racialcategories included in this booklet represent persons who identify themselves as being of a single race. If personsidentifying themselves as multiracial were included, the numbers for each race would be slightly higher. One othersignificant change in the census is that the previous “Asian and Other Pacific Islander” category has been split intotwo separate categories: “Asian” and “Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.”** It should be noted that in data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanic or Latino is an ethnicity, not a racialcategory. The Hispanic or Latino persons represented in this data can be of any race.
