Sample includes observations from 100 largest metro areas in 2000, excluding observations from the 7 metro areas that had fewer than 10,000 black families in all three decades. Coefficients on time-varying metro covariates and fixed effects not shown. Metro-year covariates include city proportion black, racial diversity, metro population size, unemployment rate, proportion under age 18, proportion over age 65, proportion with a high school diploma, proportion foreign born, and per capita income.
