A

new set of interactive maps from remappingdebate.org

show that much of the U.S. is still racially segregated. To wit:

In a country that is only 12.1 percent African-American, 30 percent of African-Americans live in Census Block Groups that are 75 percent African-American or more. 75 percent of African-Americans in the country live in only 16 percent of the Census Block Groups in the United States.

Nashville, too, has its racial boundaries, some of which are made much more visible by these maps.
