| | Ethnic Residential Segregation in Northern Ireland |
 | | One is the minority percentage-share of the population of the town as a whole, and, since this definition of zero segregation implies an even distribution of the minority percentage across all subareas in the city, it involves a conceptualisation of segregation as unevenness. |
 | | Similarly, the proliferation of these segregated neighbourhoods means that both Catholic and Protestant isolation indices are uniformly high, regardless of P. The only index affected by P, therefore, is the standardised replacement index, for it is almost as high as D in the two towns with almost equal numbers of Catholics and Protestants. |
 | | The contrast is even greater with respect to towns with low levels of segregation, for 26 towns, with 30% of the urban population, have low levels on the unevenness dimension, whereas only six towns, with a mere 4% of the urban population, have low levels in terms of dominance. |
