    [OC] Racial Diversity of US Metro Areas


    Graphic by me, created with excel using US Census data from each metro area here (example NYC Metro): https://censusreporter.org/profiles/31000US35620-new-york-newark-jersey-city-ny-nj-metro-area/

    Some notes…

    • NYC and DC are the only two metros to have double digit percentages of the 4 main groups

    • Minneapolis is the only metro to have single digit percentages of all minority groups

    • The "other" category is almost entirely made up of mixed race, with native or islander being under 1% combined for most cities

    • "Hispanic" includes Hispanic of any race. For example you can select "Hispanic" and then also check white, black, or asian

    • All race data from the US Census is self-reported/identification
