The first map shows the state of New Jersey’s Hispanic, and Latino population using the ACS 2020 (5-Year Estimates). Passaic County is the most densely populated with Hispanics, and Latinos with a total of about 41%. While looking at the map, you can see that for the most part Hispanics, and Latinos are spread out throughout the state, and not only in one or two counties. Some people of Hispanic, and Latino culture tend to prefer living in more urban civilizations, and Passaic county has a decent sized city compared to other New Jersey counties. Cumberland County is also another densely populated area for Hispanics and Latinos with a total of about 31%. Cumberland county is for the most part rural, but tends to have some urban aspects to it. Overall, most of the Hispanic, and Latino population of New Jersey seems for the most part to be spread apart throughout the whole state, but some tend to aim for the urban areas.

Cumberland County is also decently populated with African Americans since they make up about 19% of the total population of this county.

The third map shows the state of New Jersey's White population using the ACS 2020 (5-Year Estimates). A lot of the counties are very densely populated when it comes to the Whites, but the most populated goes to Sussex County with 91%. Essex County is the least populated with only about 41% Most of the population in the counties in New Jersey are more than 50% White which I found rather interesting. Overall, most of the White population of New Jersey seems to be spread apart throughout the whole state, since there is very high percentages across the entirety of the state.

I found your maps interesting It made me think about what the property value is like within New Jersey. I would like to know the property value of a place like Sussex compared to a county like Essex. I wonder if there is an economic barrier that keeps minorities within these more urban cities. It might also be job prospects and availability of employment that keep minorities such as African Americans and Hispanic people in the bigger cities. It may also be affected by the fear of moving away from your community, the same community you might have had for your entire life, a community you are comfortable around.
