An analysis of U.S. Census data reveals that 403 counties, or approximately 12.8% of the national total, have already become majority-minority. Of these, 221 are rural counties, spread across 27 states and home to about 4.5 million people.

Texas leads with 57 rural majority-minority counties, followed by Mississippi, New Mexico, Georgia, and Alaska. AI
