The data are mapped at the census block level, the smallest geography available.

The blank areas literally have no people according to the Census. This map really emphasizes how much of Lane County is essentially uninhabited wilderness.

Census 2010 Population – White – Eugene Metro

The data are mapped at the census block level, the smallest geography available.

Oregon is a predominantly “white” state. The White Non-Hispanic population can be seen as the “reverse” of the minority population. In the Eugene-Springfield Metro, the minorities are concentrated in the urban areas.

Census 2010 Population – Hispanic – Eugene Metro

The data are mapped at the census block level, the smallest geography available.

The Hispanic population is more concentrated than either the African-American or the Asian-American populations. The clusters are in Springfield, West Eugene (both northwest and southwest), and in River Road and Santa Clara.

This might have an impact on City of Eugene redistricting. It might make sense to shift Ward 7 (Andrea Ortiz) to the west and north to create a district with a larger Hispanic population.

Census 2010 Population – Asian – Eugene Metro

The data are mapped at the census block level, the smallest geography available.

The Asian-American population appears a bit more concentrated than the African-American population. However, that is primarily because it is a larger population. The geographic concentration of this population is unlikely to be a factor in local redistricting.
