Racial Segregation - Between 1980 and 2000, the percentage of racial diversity of the "typical neighborhood of a white person" declined from 63% white in 1980 to 61% white in 2000. This minor shift in racial integration is also evident when looking at the "typical neighborhood of a black person," which declined from 86% black in 1980 to 80% black in 2000. p. 48-49
