Definition: Disability rates are the proportion of the population with a disability, for whom disability status is
known, out of the civilian non-institutionalized population aged 5 and over. This indicator breaks down
disability rates by racial group, and by sex.
Notes: The Census reports that disabilities may be over-reported in the 2000 Census for the overall
disability rate, for employment disabilities, and for "go-outside-home" disabilities. Sensory, physical, mental,
and self-care disability rates are unaffected, and rates for children (age 5-15) are unaffected.

Population: Isolation by Race/Ethnicity, 2000

  Metro Area

Hispanic  21.0%

Non-Hispanic Black  37.4%

Asian/Pacific Islander  12.2%

Non-Hispanic White  86.4%

Definition: Isolation is a segregation measure referring to the degree of potential contact, or the possibility of
interaction, between people of the same racial group. For instance, the black isolation index provides the average
proportion of neighbors that are black, for the average neighborhood where blacks live.
Notes: Non-Hispanic black and Asian/Pacific Islander groups include people who identified themselves as those
races "alone" or those races "in combination with other races."
