Hispanic Segregation Is Declining in U.S. Metros
At least, that's the case for every national-original group but Mexicans.
For 30 years now, data has suggested that Hispanics in America have made no progress integrating in U.S. cities. Measures of their residential segregation (relative to white populations) have remained unchanged, suggesting that as the country's largest minority group has continued to grow in size, it has stayed largely separated from other segments of society.
This data, though, may be misleading. A new analysis from Brown University including data from the 2010 census concludes that this "seeming stability masks important differences": In fact, every Hispanic group has seen substantial declines in segregation since 1990, with the lone exception of Mexicans.
