SUM M ARY TABLE: Segregation and I solation Averages Show Persistence. National averages indicate slow but continuing declines of black-white segregation, but no declines for Hispanics and Asians. The average values for each group are weighted by the number of group members in a metropolitan region. They can be interpreted as the situation in the metropolitan region where the average member of that group lives. This is why, for example, the black-white D is a different value in the white section of the table than in the black section. National averages indicate slow but continuing declines of black-white segregation, but no change for Hispanics and Asians. Although segregation and isolation remain higher in the central cities, segregation and isolation patterns persist in the suburbs as well.
