Uh...no! That is not what I said, is it? Where did I say "racial" or "ethnic"? I said socio-economic, as in "social" (i.e., white-collar, blue-collar, college grad, high school grad, etc.) & "economic" (i.e., as in income level). Westerville (like Hilliard, Gahanna or Pickerington) has more diversity when it comes to those factors than New Albany or Dublin.

For instance, Dublin has a higher percentage of non-white residents than Hilliard, making it more racially diverse than Hilliard. However, Hilliard has a higher percentage blue-collar and moderate-income residents than Dublin, making it more socio-economically diverse than Dublin. Dublin is an elite suburb. Hilliard, on the other hand, would not be considered an elite suburb, but a "second-tier suburb" (does not mean second-class). Make sense?
