I’m still totally geeking out about the Census Bureau starting to release data from the 2010 Census, so today you’re getting another post based on it. Kristina K. let us know that Salon has up maps of the 10 most racially-segregated metropolitan areas<\/a> with populations of 500,000+, based on analyses from the University of Michigan’s Population Studies Center<\/a> and available at CensusScope<\/a>. Note that in the race categories, Hispanic is presented as a separate category; all other racial groups include only members of that race who said they were not of Hispanic origin. The Population Studies Center also has data available broken down by specific races and at the state level<\/a>, though they don’t have maps for them, just the raw dissimilarity indices.<\/p>\n

Here’s L.A., at #10:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, just for my friend Tony, is his hometown of Buffalo, NY, #6 on the list:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

New York comes in second:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The most segregated 500,000+ metro area in the U.S.? Milwaukee:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on the dissimilarity index, over 81% of Milwaukee’s non-White population would have to relocate to be distributed similarly to Whites.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, given assumptions many have about race relations in the U.S., the South doesn’t show up here. St. Louis is the most Southern city in the top 10, which is dominated by cities in the old industrial core of the North and upper Midwest\/Great Lakes regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
