127.3% More Blacks In Kootenai Co

Kootenai County was 1.3% less white in 2010 that it was at the turn of the century. My Spokesman-Review playmates have produced a nifty breakout that shows the break down in ethnic makeup of North Idaho (actually throughout the state) in terms of county, city, school district here. (You can even compare towns, schools districts, county's, etc.) The number of American Indians in the county have increased 33.5 percent in 10 years (from 1,334 to 1,781). The number of African Americans in the county has jumped 127.3 percent from 183 to 416. You can find all the breakdowns statewide here. (See drop-down info re: possible local searches.)

There are a TON of ways to explore the data at our Idaho census site.
