Percentage of Sedans that are Black

About Percentage of Sedans that are Black ....

Today is the Ides of March, who in 1970 made famous the idea of the friendly stranger in the black sedan in their song Vehicle, inspired by anti-drug pamphlets passed out to high-schoolers warning about such things.

So I thought the world needed maps of places in New York State where there is a high percentage of sedans registered that are painted black. Black sedans are particularly popular in the Bronx and Westchester, but also in New York City more generally.
