Geographic unit is the minimum population percentage required for a census tract (CT) to be in the top quintile for specified demographic group.

CT, census tract; AA, Asian American; NHW, non-Hispanic White.

a. Neighborhoods 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. Quantiles may be less than 20% of the sample because ties are automatically sent to the lower quintile.

b. Significantly different from cities with a high population proportion non-Hispanic Whites at P<.05.

c. Significantly different from cities with a high population proportion non-Hispanic Whites at P<.01.

P-values for between-group differences calculated by independent sample t-test.
