Dallas rounds out countrys top five diverse cities

  • 2019-04-26
WalletHub, a personal finance site, recently released a study identifying the relative diversity of U.S. cities, which shows the Lone Star State’s largest cities to be among this nation’s most diverse.

Houston, Dallas, and Arlington placed in the top 10 cities for diversity in 2019. WalletHub compared 501 of the U.S.’s most populated cities using five criteria: cultural diversity, household diversity, economic diversity, socioeconomic diversity, and religious diversity.

The report breaks down into metrics, for example: industry diversity, age, income, education, language, religious affiliation, marital status, and worker class.

Dallas ranked fifth on the site’s list with a combined score of 71.2. The city did not excel in any one category; it came in No. 22 for industry diversity, No. 30 in educational attainment diversity, No.37 for ethnic and racial diversity, No. 107 in socioeconomic diversity; and received its lowest score of No. 423 for worker-class diversity.

A favorable diversity ranking could be the determining factor in companies' relocation. Providing Print shops with details of a city’s diversity ranking for inclusion in information packets that are sent to a company is one way to tilt these decisions in the city's favor.

First place was claimed by Texas too, with Houston moving up from second place in 2018 to become the most diverse city in the nation for 2019, with a combined score of 71.6. At the other end of the spectrum, Provo, Utah is the least diverse American city and is No. 501 on WalletHub’s list.
