metadata.value: The social fragmentation of the US population has pronounced ethno-territorial features.
  Using the example of ten ethnic groups of Americans of various ancestry (German, Italian,
  Polish, Russian, Chinese, Asian Indian, Filipino, Mexican, Cuban, Salvadoran), the spatial features
  of social inequality are examined. Six indicators of social well-being were considered in
  three areas: education, employment status and earnings. The indicators under consideration
  include: 1) proportion of individuals without a high school diploma; 2) proportion of individuals
  with a bachelor’s degree or higher; 3) proportion of individuals who are not in the labor
  force; 4) unemployment rate; 5) median annual earnings; and 6) proportion of individuals
  with income below poverty level. The states and the District of Columbia were taken as the
  spatial unit for analyzing the ethno-territorial heterogeneity of social inequality in the United
  States. The study revealed the socio-spatial heterogeneity of the US territory, determined the
  hierarchy of ethnic groups in terms of social well-being, and identified states that have the
  highest deviations from the “normal” distribution of the indicators under consideration. The
  results obtained make it possible to judge both the influence of ethnic origin and a specific
  territory on the level of social well-being of the US population. The existing social hierarchy
  of the considered ethnic groups is highly stable in most states. More often than not, members
  of a particular ethnic group living in more socially wealthy states will outperform members
  of the same group living in less socially wealthy states in terms of social well-being. However,
  this feature is not typical for all states and ethnic groups equally. This allows us to assert that in
  the United States, inequality between ethnic groups can acquire its own specific characteristics
  depending on a particular territory.
