Venezuelans from Miranda State
Location of Miranda state:
The Venezuelan state of Miranda is one of the Venezuelan states with most radical contrasts in its racial composition when comparing some areas of the state with others.
In this relief map of the state:
The black circle demarcates the coastal lowlands of Barlovento. There, the majority of the population is between black and griffe; The area demarcated by the gray circle (to the south) corresponds to the valleys of the Tuy River, and is a mostly triracial /mestizo area with a considerable SSA input, although not that strong like in the Barlovento region; the orange area (to the north) corresponds to the area where the satellite cities of Guarenas and Guatire (of intermediate altitude) are located, plus the poor neighborhood of Petare (in the extreme east of Caracas); And it is an area with many poor neighborhoods, with many people between triracial and griffe, but there are also mestizos (I would say something similar racially to the Valles del Tuy).
In contrast, the area demarcated with the purple circle (to the northwest) corresponds to mostly middle, upper middle and upper class municipalities in eastern Caracas (excluding Petare in the extreme east), where there have always been many people between white and Euro mestizo (like many of middle to upper class people in the Venezuelan soap operas).
And finally, the blue circle (to the very west) demarcates the area known as Los Altos Mirandinos because it is located at a higher altitude than Caracas (1400 meters above the sea level and higher altitudes). This area in the past received a lot of Portuguese immigration, although today, its population is quite varied. In this area are the satellite cities of San Antonio de Los Altos (mostly middle / upper middle class) and Los Teques (varied in social composition). Here is also the German mountain town of El Jarillo
It must be said that the low lands of Barlovento (black circle) is the most sparsely populated area of the Miranda state. The highest population density of this state is found in the western half of it: East of Caracas (into the purple circle, is the area with the highest population density); the area of Petare, Guarenas and Guatire (in orange); the valleys of Tuy (gray circle); and the Altos Mirandinos (blue circle).
That being said, the population of Miranda state can go from this (in the Barlovento lowlands):
to people like these middle / upper middle class students from the eastern neighborhoods of the Caracas metropolitan area (900-1200 meters above the sea level), located in the state of Miranda (purple circle):
