African American population in Panama increased by 226 people between 2017 and 2018, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey.

Since 2010 the population has increased by 29 people.

The Florida municipality that saw the largest population growth in the African American community between the same time period was Jacksonville.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey by the U.S. Census Bureau. It regularly gathers information previously contained only in the long form of the decennial census, such as ancestry, citizenship, educational attainment, income, language proficiency, migration, disability, employment, and housing characteristics. This data is used by many public-sector, private-sector, and not-for-profit stakeholders to allocate funding, track shifting demographics, plan for emergencies, and learn about local communities.
