<br /> <br />13 <br />For example, Table 2 indicates that the average Latinx/white dissimilarity index for a Bay Area <br />jurisdiction is 0.207, so on average 20.7% of Latinx (or white residents) in a Bay Area jurisdiction would <br />need to move to a different neighborhood within the jurisdiction to create perfect integration between <br />Latinx and white residents in that jurisdiction. <br />Table 2: Racial Dissimilarity Index Values for Segregation within Pleasanton <br /> Pleasanton Bay Area <br />Average <br />Race 2000 2010 2020 2020 <br />Asian/Pacific Islander vs. White 0.246 0.212 0.205 0.185 <br />Black/African American vs. White 0.178* 0.194* 0.306* 0.244 <br />Latinx vs. White 0.185 0.187 0.185 0.207 <br />People of Color vs. White 0.150 0.169 0.164 0.168 <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 />Note: If a number is marked with an asterisk (*), it indicates that the index is based on a racial group making up less than 5 <br />percent of the jurisdiction population, leading to unreliable numbers. <br />Figure 3 below shows how dissimilarity index values in City of Pleasanton compare to values in other <br />Bay Area jurisdictions. In this chart, each dot represents a Bay Area jurisdiction. For each racial group <br />pairing, the spread of dots represents the range of dissimilarity index values among Bay Area <br />jurisdictions. Additionally, the black line within each racial group pairing notes the dissimilarity index <br />value in Pleasanton, and each dashed red line represents the Bay Area average for the dissimilarity <br />index for that pairing. Similar to Figure 2, local staff can use this chart to contextualize how <br />segregation levels between white residents and communities of color in their jurisdiction compare to <br />the rest of the region. However, staff should be mindful of whether a racial group in their jurisdiction <br />has a small population (approximately less than 5% of the jurisdiction’s population), as the dissimilarity <br />index value is less reliable for small populations.
