Includes metropolitan regions whose central city elementary enrollment was over 25,000 in 1999-2000,

and black children were more than 10% of the student body. 

Three entirely suburban regions that otherwise meet these criteria are also included.

Data for these regions refer to suburban segregation; for other cases, they include only the cities in the metropolitan region.
