8 2 RACIAL SEGREGATION I N CITY OF PLEASANTON Definition of Terms - Racial/Ethnic Groups The U.S. Census Bureau classifies racial groups (e.g. white or Black/African American) separately from Hispanic/Latino ethnicity.7 This report combines U.S. Census Bureau definitions for race and ethnicity into the following racial groups: White: Non-Hispanic white Latinx: Hispanic or Latino of any race8 Black: Non-Hispanic Black/African American Asian/Pacific Islander: Non-Hispanic Asian or Non-Hispanic Pacific Islander People of Color: All who are not non-Hispanic white (including people who identify as “some other race” or “two or more races”)9 2.1 Neighborhood Level Racial Segregation (within City of Pleasanton) Racial dot maps are useful for visualizing how multiple racial groups are distributed within a specific geography. The racial dot map of Pleasanton in Figure 1 below offers a visual representation of the spatial distribution of racial groups within the jurisdiction. Generally, when the distribution of dots does not suggest patterns or clustering, segregation measures tend to be lower. Conversely, when clusters of certain groups are apparent on a racial dot map, segregation measures may be higher. 7 More information about the Census Bureau’s definitions of racial groups is available here: https://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html. 8 The term Hispanic has historically been used to describe people from numerous Central American, South American, and Caribbean countries. In recent years, the term Latino or Latinx has become preferred. This report generally uses Latinx to refer to this racial/ethnic group. 9 Given the uncertainty in the data for population size estimates for racial and ethnic groups not included in the Latinx, Black, or Asian/Pacific Islander categories, this report only analyzes these racial groups in the aggregate People of Color category.
