A new study ranking each California county by racial disparity was recently released by the Advancement Project, a multiracial civil rights organization. The study examined seven specific measures — economic opportunity, healthcare access, education, housing, democracy, crime and justice, and environment — and tracked publicly accessible data to show how Caucasians, Latinos, Asians and African Americans fared in each category.
Here’s a look at what the study says about Southern California.
