Segregated Housing Almost a Thing of the Past
The Hanford (CA) Sentinel (8/29, 8K) reports, "A new study of information gathered by the U.S. Census over the last 120 years concludes that housing segregation is vastly reduced from the levels of 30 or 40 years ago, with California leading the way, as it often does. Using a statistical measure called the 'isolation index,' researchers from Harvard and Duke universities working at the Manhattan Institute found that the Los Angeles area is the least segregated of America's ten largest cities." The data revealed that only 22% of Los Angeles "have racial concentrations differing significantly from the overall composition of the entire region."
