The report "The New Metropolitan Minority Map" uses 1990, 2000, and 2010 decennial census data for the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas.
"This paper shows how the rapid growth of Hispanic and Asian origin groups and new internal shifts of African Americans are transforming the racial and ethnic demographic profiles of America's largest metropolitan areas ahead of other parts of the country," says Michael Frey, senior fellow of the Metropolitan Policy Program, on the Brookings website.
