| Diversity Spreads Out: Metropolitan Shifts in Hispanic, Asian, and Black Populations Since 2000
Frey, William H.
Brookings Institution, March 2006, 28p, online edition
This report analyzes the Census Bureau population estimates detailing the distribution of racial and ethnic groups within and across U.S. metropolitan areas since Census 2000. Finding that Hispanic, Asian, and black populations continue to migrate to new destinations, increasingly living in suburbs, and in rapidly growing job centers in the South and West, the author concludes that this wider dispersal of minority populations signifies the broadening relevance of policies aimed at more diverse, including immigrant, communities. William H. Frey is a visiting fellow at the metropolitan policy program of the Brookings Institution
