Corrected: This chart incorrectly described the data. It should have said that the figures showed states’ levels of black-white school segregation in 1990 and 2000.
The chart below shows how states’ rates of racial segregation in schools compare with their rates of segregation in residential neighborhoods. States scoring lower on the scale have comparatively lower rates of segregation in schools, but many states’ rates have increased.
