Wow-for ~1M person metros Hartford and Bridgeport areas are really diverse, that's awesome. Having lived in Hartford I've always felt the diversity of the area didn't show on paper but I definitely see it here.
Staying in New England, I'm proud of Boston's diversity. This does reflect more of the feel on the ground in my experience. When you factor in Arabs, the exceptionally high Jewish and Brazilian population your "WASP" population in the area is under 60%. With probably the most diverse Black/Hispanic populations in the entire US.
I'm surprised New Orleans is up over 10% Latino. That post-Katrina surge is real.
Really surprised at how Asian Austin and especially Portland are. I wonder if Portland is getting people relocating from Seattle. Austin I'm guessing it's the UT effect.
What is the Native American % in OKC, I'd assume it would be high.
Memphis is just sooo much blacker than anywhere else, its not even close.
Raleigh and Charlotte are nice and diverse.
I'm surprised at how Black San Antonio is.
Seattle UA is very diverse, seems the metro is more diverse than the city- that seems like a West Coast phenomenon
New York, Houston, Las Vegas, DC, Sacramento and Dallas are really ultra diverse, with a lesser extent to Orlando, San Francisco/San Jose, and LA.
New York, sounds crazy to say- but for a mega city in the Americas- its pretty white. Obviously not that much but I notice it. Simply being in the Northeast really does 'whiten' you up
Vegas, DC, and Houston are the most diverse.
These still don't quite hit 100%. Hartford totals up to 102. Boston only totals 98.7.

^^ Crazy if MD, VA, and DC made up one "Chesapeake/Potomac" state it would be number #1 total in the US ahead of Texas, in about the land mass equivalent of Alabama:
(might as well toss in Delaware while you're at it)
Yea I mean..not surprised:
- There have been links to the % of free blacks pre-Civil War and the economic prosperity of black people in VA and MD, its has always been a 'spot'
- MD and DC caught some of the Great Migration AND the Reverse Great Migration. Idk if anywhere else did, maybe Delaware?
- Concentration of HBCUs
- Governmental employment/Military Employment
-Favorable weather
-VA was the 1st state to elect a black governor. In all likelihood, Maryland will become the 3rd(after MA teehee ). Black Political, leadership is there not just economic prowess.
-And just riding that momentum.
I lived in Milton MA at the same time Deval Patrick did (I lived about a 13-15 minute walk from his house) and became governor. I'll be living in Baltimore MD, like Wes Moore, when he becomes governor. I feel a little cool.

Good point on catching both waves of the migration/reverse of it. I don't know the history of Blacks in Delaware that strong enough to be definitive, but my guess is that yes it probably has caught both waves.
Yeah, Moore is poised to be the #3 Black gov. It will be interesting to see which state will elect the first Black female to head their state.
Ok, so here are the Urban areas and I did include races in combo. Here is how this will work.
-Hispanic isn't a race, so the Hispanic numbers will be pulled the same.
-The Asian and Black numbers below will include those that are "Asian/Black Alone" and "Asian/Black in Combination".
-The White numbers will only be those that are "White Alone".
The more I go through these numbers, the more I am convinced that the perceived losses of some minority groups from some metro areas is simply a redefining of what it means to be those groups not actually people losses.
Anywhere, here they are.
New York City - 19,182,900
White: 8,187,382 - 42.7%
Hispanic: 4,924,876 - 25.7%
Black: 3,771,008 - 19.7%
Asian: 2,532,350 - 13.2%
Los Angeles - 12,257,919
Hispanic: 5,780,948 - 47.2%
White: 3,117,090 - 25.4%
Asian: 2,405,379 - 19.6%
Black: 954,238 - 7.8%

There may be small mathematical errors on my part. They should all go up to 97-99% or so. I didnt factor the Native Americans, Islanders, etc.
Boston is not that racially diverse but its extremely ethnically diverse. Kind of like the reverse Las Vegas which is very racially diverse but ethnically isnt that noteworthy.

Id assume some Wampanoags and Brazilians get lost in the sauce. Getting the three minority groups at 10%+ is pretty good. Not many UAs do that so I consider it to be reasonably diverse. It's the ethnic diversity for sure.
Ok, now for some numbers regarding nationalities. I will stick with Urban Area measurements. Those seem to be more in line with what a person would encounter when visiting a city. Also, given that this is a city and urban forum, the stats would be more relevant as they cut out more rural areas and areas that dont interact with the core as much.
Stay tuned....
