Saturday, November 12th, 2016 07:07 pmThe Google election results has a horizontal scrolling list of "Election Insights" at the bottom. One of the items says "Clinton won more counties where at least 30% of the population is foreign born."
That one struck me as strange. Do we have *any* counties where 30% of the people are foreign born? In considering it, I guessed that if so, they are probably near the Mexican border. But how many could there be?
This site shows the percentage of foreign born people in each county: Immigrants in the United States: County-level Data on the Foreign-born.
The color-coding isn't very good - it's hard to distinguish between some of the colors. And in some cases the colors are wrong, based on the actual numbers shown when you click the county.
So far I found 5 counties which have more than 30% foreign born.
That said, I am surprised how many places have between 10 and 30% foreign born people.
Whoa. Miami-Dade county in Florida has 49.65% foreign born!
