American suburban life seems to regress to a mean of segregation. A 2011 analysis using Census Bureau data found that a “typical white” American lives in a neighborhood that’s 75 percent white.

A real shocker – the “typical white American lives in a neighborhood that’s 75 percent white”.

This is then interpreted by writer Clare Malone to mean that most white Americans live in segregated neighborhoods – in a country that is 75.8% white.

It seems the average American lives in a neighborhood whose average is the average of the entire country. That’s actually remarkable!

But this means the average lives in a segregated neighborhood? I do not understand this but then I am a brain injured idiot.
