Residential Segregation - Black/White

This indicator shows the index of dissimilarity where higher values indicate greater residential segregation between Black and white county residents.
The residential segregation index ranges from 0 (complete integration) to 100 (complete segregation). The index score can be interpreted as the percentage of either Black or white residents that would have to move to different geographic areas in order to produce a distribution that matches that of the larger area.
