<br /> <br />10 <br />The “Bay Area Average” column in this table provides the average isolation index value across Bay Area <br />jurisdictions for different racial groups in 2020.10 The data in this column can be used as a comparison <br />to provide context for the levels of segregation experienced by racial groups in this jurisdiction. For <br />example, Table 1 indicates the average isolation index value for white residents across all Bay Area <br />jurisdictions is 0.491, meaning that in the average Bay Area jurisdiction a white resident lives in a <br />neighborhood that is 49.1% white. <br />Table 1: Racial Isolation Index Values for Segregation within Pleasanton <br /> Pleasanton Bay Area <br />Average <br />Race 2000 2010 2020 2020 <br />Asian/Pacific Islander 0.150 0.272 0.431 0.245 <br />Black/African American 0.015 0.018 0.024 0.053 <br />Latinx 0.092 0.120 0.112 0.251 <br />White 0.768 0.633 0.457 0.491 <br />Universe: Population. <br />Source: IPUMS National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS). U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Census State Redistricting <br />Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File, 2020 Census of Population and Housing, Table P002. Data from 2010 is from U.S. Census <br />Bureau, Census 2010, Table P4. Data for 2000 is standardized to 2010 census tract geographies and is from U.S. Census Bureau, <br />Census 2000, Table P004. <br />Figure 2 below shows how racial isolation index values in Pleasanton compare to values in other Bay <br />Area jurisdictions. In this chart, each dot represents a Bay Area jurisdiction. For each racial group, the <br />spread of dots represents the range of isolation index values among Bay Area jurisdictions. <br />Additionally, the black line within each racial group notes the isolation index value for that group in <br />City of Pleasanton, and each dashed red line represents the Bay Area average for the isolation index for <br />that group. Local staff can use this chart to contextualize how segregation levels for racial groups in <br />their jurisdiction compare to other jurisdictions in the region. <br /> <br />10 This average only includes the 104 jurisdictions that have more than one census tract, which is true for all <br />comparisons of Bay Area jurisdictions’ segregation measures in this report. The segregation measures in this report <br />are calculated by comparing the demographics of a jurisdiction’s census tracts to the jurisdiction’s demographics, <br />and such calculations cannot be made for the five jurisdictions with only one census tract (Brisbane, Calistoga, <br />Portola Valley, Rio Vista, and Yountville).
