Press Release: Most metros in the US have become more segregated since 1990 | Othering & Belonging Institute

More than 80 percent of metropolitan regions in the United States have become more segregated in recent decades despite policy efforts aimed at promoting integration, with the most highly segregated areas located in midwestern and mid atlantic states.
