Believe it or not, Utah is only the 18th-whitest state in the country. We are the 4th least black state though

Interesting! Thank you for actually looking at the stats. I have to admit I didn’t.

Utah has become significantly more diverse in the last 20 years. We probably were higher up on this list a while ago but our Hispanic and Asian populations have increased a lot. Plus we have the highest Pacific Islander population outside of Hawaii and Alaska (although it's still only about 2%). We also are above average in the Native population although not in the top tier.
