What Does Your Neighborhood Actually Look Like?
We talk a lot about “diversity” in abstract ways. But have you ever actually looked at the data for where you live?
👉 Explore your city here (use the tool and type in your city or zip code) https://bestneighborhood.org/racial-distribution-by-city/
This map breaks down racial distribution by city and neighborhood—who lives where, and in what proportions.
And here’s why this matters:
Race isn’t just about identity—it’s also about how people are grouped, separated, and distributed across systems like housing.
So when you look at your neighborhood, you’re not just seeing “who lives there.”
You’re seeing:
Patterns of access
Patterns of exclusion
Patterns of history still playing out

💭 Reflection prompts:
Does your neighborhood reflect the diversity of your city? Your State?
Who is missing and why might that be?
What does proximity (or lack of it) shape about your worldview?
How might this connect to schools, resources, or safety?
Segregation today doesn’t always look like laws, sometimes it looks like:
“Good neighborhoods”
“Property values”
“School districts”
“Where people feel comfortable living”
But these patterns didn’t appear randomly.
This is part of doing the work.
Not just learning concepts, but noticing the world you’re moving through.o
Look up your area and reflect. Then come back and share your thoughts, tell us what you noticed. 🔍
