Compared with other large U.S. cities, Seattle is pretty white.
Along with Portland, Seattle is among large U.S. cities in which the highest proportions of residents describe themselves as non-Hispanic white, based on 2010 census data.
In Seattle, 66 percent of all residents fit that category — the fifth-highest rate among the nation's 50 largest cities — higher even than Wichita, Kan., and Minneapolis.
Seattle rose two notches in the ranking from a decade ago, in part because other cities experienced higher growth in their Latino populations.
Portland's 72 percent white population was the highest in the country, a position unchanged from 10 years ago.
