According to census.gov's latest data as of 2016, Mountain View is 2% black. The Bay Area Census Project records 1,468 blacks in 2010. I saw more black people than that crossing Peachtree Street today. census.gov reports, as of 2010, blacks making up 25.1% of NYC, 9.6% of Los Angeles, and 6.1% of famously liberal San Francisco. census.gov does not provide data for Dublin or Zurich, but we can make some reasonable assumptions about those other largest Google offices, ''n'est-ce pas?'' And let's be honest -- I doubt most of that 25.1% of NYC is centered around Chelsea.
