"The gaps tend to be smallest in the West."

Well, except for LA and Oakland. I wonder why the other west coast cities have the opposite trend?

It's probably excessively naive, but my first guess is some sort of demographic velocity.

My expectation is that the gap will be the smallest in the places that have the most mobile populations.

More likely it correlates to gang activity.
