The counties that have a higher percentage of blacks are concentrated mostly throughout the southeastern United States. This makes sense as most blacks were forced to immigrate to the United States under the bonds of slavery, which was concentrated on large plantations in the southern United States. Additionally, there are dark spots that run up the Atlantic seaboard, denoting clusters of large cities throughout the East Coast that have many diverse job opportunities. In addition, these cities tend to offer several low income housing areas and service jobs. The same logic applies to the higher percentages of blacks living in the southwestern United States in Los Angeles--diverse job opportunities and many employment options for those that happen to be unemployed.
