a. American Community Survey. 2019; https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs.
b. As groups compared must be mutually exclusive, cities with significant AA or other groups and NHW populations were excluded.
c. All values in the table are calculated averages.
d. AA, Asian American; NHOPI, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander; NHW, Non-Hispanic White.
e. Cities were considered ‘high’ in population for a given group or sub-group if the city total population of that group was in the top population quintile for that group across cities included in the sample.
