Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • Typology of Cities and Suburbs, by MSA and Census Tract Source: Authors’ tabulation.

  • Percentage of MSA Residents in Suburban Tracts, by Race Source: Authors’ tabulation. Note: Estimates weighted by the share of each group’s metropolitan population in each MSA.

    Note: Estimates weighted by the share of each group’s metropolitan population in each MSA.

  • Average Simpson’s Diversity Index, by Residence Source: Authors’ tabulation. Note: Estimates weighted by the share of the U.S. metropolitan population in each MSA (MSA-wide estimates) or the U.S. MSA-component population (such as suburban fringe) in each component (component-level estimates).

    Note: Estimates weighted by the share of the U.S. metropolitan population in each MSA (MSA-wide estimates) or the U.S. MSA-component population (such as suburban fringe) in each component (component-level estimates).

  • Average Index of Dissimilarity, by Residence and Race Source: Authors’ tabulation. Note: Estimates weighted by the share of the reference group’s metropolitan population in each MSA (MSA-wide estimates) or the reference group’s MSA-component population (such as suburban fringe) in each component (component-level estimates). Reference groups are listed first in each pair.

    Note: Estimates weighted by the share of the reference group’s metropolitan population in each MSA (MSA-wide estimates) or the reference group’s MSA-component population (such as suburban fringe) in each component (component-level estimates). Reference groups are listed first in each pair.

  • Average Exposure Index, by Residence and Race Source: Authors’ tabulation. Note: Estimates weighted by the share of the reference group’s metropolitan population in each MSA (MSA-wide estimates) or the reference group’s MSA-component population (such as suburban fringe) in each component (component-level estimates). Reference groups are listed first in each pair.
