Most Diverse Cities in America by DIVYA on OCTOBER 1, 2013
American history is a story of immigration and diversity. As of June 2012, people of color constituted 36% of the workforce, and the Census has predicted that by 2050, there will be no racial or ethnic majority in the United States. Our nation’s diversity is often a point of pride among residents, as well as an appealing aspect of the United States for newcomers and visitors. In honor of Diversity Day, NerdWallet took a closer look at which cities contribute the most diversity to this melting pot.
The overall scores were calculated by measuring how near the population was to an equal distribution of residents across the four most common ethnic groups: Hispanic/Latino, White (non-Hispanic), Black (non-Hispanic), and Asian/Pacific Islander (non-Hispanic).
