Looking more closely at large metro areas - at their component divisions - shows an unsurprising characterisitic. In each case of metro divisions (11 metros have them), the division containing the center of the metro has the greatest inequality. The most unequal divisions:
1. New York 3.433
2. Miami 3.273
3. Boston 3.242
4. San Francisco 3.219
5. Philadelphia 3.203
This list is the central division in each of the five most uneqaul large metro areas. And in each case, the central division is a bit more uneqaul than the metro area as a whole. New York's number is in a league of its own.
Conversely, the most equal divisions contain no centers of metro areas.
1. Rockingham/Stafford counties, NH 2.724
2. Tacoma, WA 2.725
3. Nassau/Suffolk, NY 2.749
4. Bethesda/Frederick, MD 2.760
5. Lake County, IL/Kenosha, WI 2.791
