Interesting. New Mexico is kind of odd to me, though. And Kansas? Does this map count Hispanics as multiracial? If not, that makes sense. Although I still would think that Native American/white multiracial people would outdo whatever Kansas got red for (black/white?).
Here's the link:
http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/ranks/rank10.htmNot sure what they qualify as multiracial, though due to the very low countrywide percent of multiracial people, my guess is that Hispanics are not considered multiracial but someone who is 1/2 Hispanic, 1/2 White (or Black, etc.) would be.
New Mexico is gray--were you expecting it to be above or below average?
Yeah, I was surprised by Kansas too. I can't find the multi-racial breakdown, though Kansas has more Hispanics than Blacks.
Does the "Mormon Triangle" include Wyoming? Because Wyoming is only about 11% Mormon, which - while above average - is much below Utah and Idaho. It's more in line with Arizona.
I had included Wyoming as part of the Mormon Triangle, though you're right that it's only 11% Mormon, though it has much more in common politically and culturally with Idaho and Utah than Arizona. What I meant to say was that the West (minus Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming) had a much higher rate of two-raced people than the rest of the country.
