Analysis of Census 2000 data reveals patterns behind the increasing diversity in large U.S. cities.
A new analysis of data from the 2000 Census shows a number of important patterns underlying the increasing diversity in our nation's largest cities. Non-Hispanic whites now represent less than half the population in the nation's largest central cities. The Hispanic population is growing rapidly, while the number of Asians and blacks in central cities are also increasing. These demographic changes will affect the social, economic, political, and fiscal character of our cities. Includes links to New York Times article and ABC World News Tonight coverage.
