LA Diversity index ranking

http://projects.latimes.com/mapping-la/neighborhoods/diversity-index/neighborhood/list/


The diversity index measures the probability that any two residents, chosen at random, would be of different ethnicities. If all residents are of the same ethnic group it's zero. If half are from one group and half from another it's 50%.

We use this figure to place areas into 10 groups of even size and then rank those groups. Areas with a diversity rank of 1 are the least ethnically diverse. Those with a diversity rank of 10 are the most ethnically diverse.
