- A key distinction in the listed definitions is that the “alone” categories include only individuals who exclusively identify with that racial group, while the “alone or in combination” categories count those who identify with multiple racial groups. Additionally, “Hispanic (any race)” is treated as an ethnic category separate from race.
- Data on voter population is based on the 2022 elections.
White Voters
When it comes to the breakdown and percentage of voters by race in the US, the margins are decidedly slanted. Unsurprisingly, white voters make up an overwhelming majority of those margins. The most reliable estimates place the percentage of voters by race for white voters around 67 to 70 percent.
Those numbers will vary slightly, as expected from year to year, but historically have remained relatively steady. Some of the highest numbers put the percentage of white voters around 72 percent. In any event, this is a result that is neither surprising nor unexpected. And it doesn’t appear there will be any significant change in the foreseeable future or for future elections.
Black Voters
While the percentage of Black eligible voters has stayed fairly consistent over the past twenty years at 12-14% of total voters, the actual number of Black Americans eligible to vote has steadily risen. There has been an increase of about 10 million people over the course of 20 years.
In the District of Columbia, Black Americans make up 46% of all of the district’s eligible voters. Mississippi (35%), Georgia (33%), Maryland (32%), and Louisiana (32%) are states with large shares of Black eligible voters as well.
There are eight states that account for over half of all Black eligible voters: Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, New York, North Carolina, Illinois, and Maryland. 52% of all of the country’s eligible Black voters live in these states.
Hispanic Voters
The number of Hispanic voters has grown by over 20 million people since 2000. Over two-thirds of all Hispanic eligible voters live in just five states, California, Florida, Texas, New York, and Arizona. With the exception of New York, Hispanic voters also make up at least 21% of the voter share in each of these states.
The Hispanic voting segment is one of the largest growing voting populations in the US. In 2000, Hispanic voters made up just 7.4% of all eligible voters in the United States. By 2022, 14.3% of eligible voters identified as Hispanic.
Asian American Voters
The smallest segment of voters when it comes to the percentage of voters by race is Asian American voters. In 2022, 5.5% of eligible voters in the United State identified as Asian. This is up from 2.8% in 2000 but has been virtually unchanged since 2016.
Similar to concentrations of Black and Hispanic voters, the majority of Asian American voters live in just five states. California, New York, Texas, Hawaii, and New Jersey are home to 56% of the U.S.’s Asian population. 55% of eligible voters in Hawaii are Asian, but in all other states, Asians make up less than 16% of eligible voters within the state
As shifts happen within the country’s population, the percentage of eligible voters in each race demographic will change as well. There have already been significant shifts in the percentage of eligible voters by race in the past 20 years. What is most important is that all eligible voters are able to have their voices heard so that the vote reflects the reality of America’s diverse racial makeup.
