AFRICAN AMERICAN/BLACK HEALTH DISPARITIES

The African American/Black population experiences significant disparities with
chronic conditions, access to care, and more.



African Americans/Blacks represent approximately 13.4% of the United States
population.1 The U.S. Census Bureau defines the terms “African American or
Black” as any person who “has origins in any of the Black racial groups of
Africa.”

Although the African American/Black population has a long history in the United
States, this population remains diverse due to the various locations of historic
origin. Approximately 10% of the African American/Black population in the United
States is foreign-born, immigrants of African descent, who migrated from
countries such as the Caribbean and Latin America.2
