## Step1: Identify the Ethnic Clustering Pattern### Ethnic clustering refers to the phenomenon where certain ethnic groups tend to live in specific areas within a city or metropolitan area. This is often due to various socio-economic factors, historical migrations, and cultural similarities.## Step2: Highlight Urban Concentration### Urban areas, particularly metropolitan regions, tend to have higher concentrations of ethnic groups. This is because cities offer more diverse job opportunities, cultural hubs, and social networks that attract people from various backgrounds.## Step3: Specific Urban Attractions### Certain cities, such as Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit, have historically attracted ethnic groups from Southern and Eastern Europe due to the growth of industries like steel and automotive manufacturing, which provided job opportunities.## Step4: Modern Ethnic Concentrations### In contemporary US cities, the ethnic concentrations have shifted. A significant portion of the African American population migrates from the South, while there is a notable influx of immigrants from Latin America and Asia.
