Black Residential Isolation in the United States

Description:

A chart showing Black residential isolation in the United States. Neighborhoods in the 100 largest metropolitan areas are segregated by race even today. Black Americans are most likely to live in isolation from other races, and this isolation has been shown to be associated with negative outcomes for Black Americans. In metropolitan areas with high levels of residential segregation, Black Americans have been found to have particularly poor life outcomes, including high unemployment, high poverty rates, low income, and poor educational outcomes.
