When data on an economic attribute (in our case, income) is available, we conceptualize a phenomenon that we refer to as “Grayness” - a combination of spatial integration based upon group-identity and income. Grayness is high when cities display a high degree of spatial co-existence in terms of both identity and income. We lay down some desirable properties of a measure of Grayness and develop a simple and intuitive index that satisfies them. We provide an illustration by using data from the Indian city of Hyderabad, and selected American cities.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/SegregationInequalityGroup-based DisparitiesCitiesGraynessEconomicsWorking Paper
