majoritywhite

majoritywhite is a term used to describe a place, such as a town, city, or country, where the population is predominantly of white ethnicity. The definition of "majority" in this context typically refers to a proportion exceeding fifty percent. The demographic composition of a region is often analyzed by race and ethnicity, and "majoritywhite" is a descriptor used in such analyses.

The concept of a majoritywhite area is a demographic observation. It reflects the racial makeup of a population at a given time and can be influenced by various factors including historical settlement patterns, migration trends, and birth rates. Understanding the ethnic composition of areas is a common practice in sociology, demography, and urban planning.

In some contexts, the term may be used in discussions about social, economic, or political dynamics within those areas. However, the term itself is purely descriptive of population percentages and does not inherently carry any value judgment. Data on ethnic composition is collected through national censuses and surveys in many countries to provide a statistical understanding of their populations. These statistics allow for the identification of areas with different demographic profiles.
