The top ten most segregated large metropolitan areas were in the older Northeast-Midwest “Rust Belt,” which has tended to lose population in recent decades. All but one of the least segregated large metropolitan areas were in the West and South, where metro- politan areas have tended to gain population. The exception was Providence-Fall River-Warwick in the Northeast, which tied for the fifth-least-segregated and does not fit the broader pattern. (72)
In the Black population, 14 per- cent of individuals 25 and older had a bachelor’s degree or more education, compared with 24 percent of the total U.S. population.
