1. District of Columbia
Percentage of African American population: 47.7%
Even though it’s not technically a state, we still included District of Columbia on our final list due to it being a federally-administered territory in the United States. And it surely deserves to be here as it’s the only place among the states with the highest percentage of African American population that comes even close to having half a population of Blacks.
