Broward County Diversity Index Score By Census Tracts

This web map illustrates the Hispanic Distribution of Broward County by census tracts. The map is symbolized to display each tract's diversity index score. The U.S. Census Bureau uses the Diversity Index (DI) to measure the likelihood that two randomly selected individuals from a population will belong to different racial or ethnic groups. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where a score of 0 indicates no diversity (everyone belongs to the same group), and a score of 100 indicates complete diversity (the population is perfectly evenly distributed across all racial and ethnic groups). A higher score means a higher probability that two randomly selected people would be from different racial or ethnic backgrounds, indicating greater diversity within the population. In this publication, the DI measures diversity among the Hispanic population and the likelihood that two randomly selected Hispanic individuals will belong to different Hispanic Origin Groups.
