From 2018 to 2020, we undertook a five-part investigation of racial residential segregation in the San Francisco Bay Area. We studied the nature and extent of racial residential segregation, demographic change, and harmful effects, using different measures of segregation. Our final brief of the series offered possible policy solutions.
Although our study was focused on neighborhoods (census tracts) and regions (Metropolitan Statistical Areas and counties), we separately examined city-level segregation in an addendum. In that addendum, published in November of 2020, we ranked every city in the Bay Area from most to least segregated internally and in terms of segregation from the surrounding region.
Using the recently-released 2020 Census data, we now update these findings and lists. In addition, we rank the top 10 most segregated neighborhoods in the Bay Area for every major racial group. This is the first time we will have presented this analysis (although we identified specific racial concentrations in Part 2 of our original series).
To contextualize this information, we report that, according to the 2020 Census, the nine-county Bay Area region is 36 percent white, 28 percent Asian, 24 percent Latino, 6 percent Black, and 6.5 percent “other,” including American Indians and Alaskan Natives (AIAN), Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPI), and multi-race populations.
