A Minnesota town once rated the country’s “city of least diversity” is still overwhelmingly white — but its population has been frozen for the last 50 years, while the rest of the state grew in size and diversity. New Ulm — a small town about 100 miles southwest of Minneapolis — is about 93% white across its population of 13,863 residents, US Census estimates show. The city is so homogenous that nearly every person in the tiny town is of German ancestry, with the language still spoken in many households, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.
