ABSTRACT

Overall, segregation between Latinos and Anglos has increased and Latinos have become more isolated from the American mainstream. The vast majority of highly segregated Latinos live in the immigration hubs of Los Angeles-Long Beach, New York, and Chicago. The remainder of highly segregated Latino/Anglo metropolitan areas are concentrated in the Northeast (See Map 1: Latino Segregation in 2000). Conversely, Black/Anglo segregation has decreased. As of 2000, Latinos are more segregated from Anglos than from Blacks. While Black/Anglo segregation is still greater than Latino/Anglo segregation, the differences between the two groups have been greatly reduced.
