Population
Black(state) Georgia Black USA
All statistics above are from the Census Bureau - 2007 American Community Survey
Georgia had the largest numerical increase in African American population growth between 2006 and 2007 (84,000), with Texas coming in a distant second (62,000). This is mostly due to the mass Black migration to the Atlanta metropolitan area bringing Georgia to 4th place in Black population.
