Newly released census estimates show Tennessee’s minority population remains primarily black, despite national trends.
A quarter of the state’s population are minorities. Of those, 70 percent, or about a million people, are African-Americans. Hispanics make up the next largest group, estimated at 215 thousand.
Those numbers are in line with much of the rest of the southeast, but in the nation as a whole, Hispanics outnumber African-Americans.
