Cities with a higher percentage of white police officers than white residents Cities with a lower percentage of white police officers than white residents

Take the example of Baltimore. This shows that 28 percent of the city population is white, while 46 percent of the police officers working in the city are white, according to Census data.

The empty space in the middle of the chart shows where cities would fall if their share of white officers matched the population. The blue half shows overrepresentation of white police officers compared to the community's racial makeup, while the gray half shows under-representation of white officers.

In this case, whites are over-represented among Baltimore police.
