Best States for Black Business Owners

Name the 10 best U.S. states for black business owners, as represented by the percentage of black-owned businesses, as compared to the overall percentage of the population that identifies as black.
e.g., A state where 20% of the population is black, but only 10% of the business are black-owned would have a score of 0.50, while a state where 2% of the population is black and 2% of the businesses are black-owned would have a score of 1.0.
The District of Columbia is not included in these rankings, but if it were, it would be 9th (49.5% of the population is black; 28.2% of businesses are black-owned).
