WaPo documents an increasingly diverse United States

A high score means a county has people of many races and ethnicities, while a low score means the community is made up of a single dominant group. To make these maps, we calculated the racial and ethnic diversity in every county in the contiguous United States for 2000, and again with the latest data from 2014..”
