Quick examples: Minneapolis, Boston, Nashville, and Cincinnati all have much higher percentages of non-Hispanic whites than Los Angeles and New York.

Even if we look at black or Hispanic/Latino percentages:

* Minneapolis: 18.6% black, 10.5% Hispanic/Latino

* New York: 25.1% black, 27.5% Hispanic/Latino

* Los Angeles: 9.6% black, 48.5% Hispanic/Latino

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the data is "all over the place," but I would definitely not say there's a correlation with race.

For anyone following this thread but not the other one, my reply, wherein I continue not to see much correlation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13716999
