Distribution of Native Americans by county

The following is a list of United States counties in which a majority (over 50%) of the population is Native American (American Indian or Alaska Native), according to data from the 2020 Census.[1] There are 29 counties in 8 states with Native American majority populations. County-equivalents, such as boroughs and census areas in Alaska, are included in this list.

This list does not include Pacific Islanders / Native Hawaiians; in any case, there are no counties with majorities. The highest percentage of Pacific Islanders in any U.S. county is Kalawao County, Hawaii, with 48%, although it only has 82 inhabitants.[2][3]
