However, blacks make up about 13.4 percent of the U.S. population. Then the percentage seems to have grown but is still less than their percentage of the population.

As can be seen in the table above, the percentage of Software Developers in the U.S. who were black was 5.6 percent in 1980 and was only 4.4 percent in 2018. In fact, about two-thirds of the H-1B visas issued in 2018 were for computer-related occupations and a large percentage of these were for software developer jobs. Hence, it would seem very possible that some of this drop may have been due to competition with H-1B visa workers.

Being in Silicon Valley, Santa Clara County is very competitive and the additional competition from H-1B was likely a major factor in this drop.

Only 4.2 percent were U.S. born. For all other software developers, 84.8 percent were U.S. born. The great majority of the non-citizen software developers are likely on H-1B or other non-citizen visas. Hence, these non-citizen visas likely did play a major role in the drop of the percentage of black software developers since 2011.
