Racial Makeup of Red and Blue America

As the House of Representatives considers an overhaul of immigration laws, it is clear that the members represent very different slices of the country, depending on their political party. Districts represented by Democrats are, together, only slightly more than half white and nearly one quarter Hispanic. Republican districts are roughly three-quarters white, and only one in nine residents is Hispanic.

The New York Times Note: People who report being Hispanic and another race are included in the Hispanic category. Source: 2010 U.S. Census data, reticulated for the Congressional district boundaries of the 113th Congress
