Some communities have a high concentration of one group while others tend to be more multicultural.
Although specific groups' communities may have some common characteristics, such as Hopi communities being Pueblo villages high on the mesas of the Hopi reservation, each group also has some variation. To continue the example, some Hopi live off the reservation in apartments in Phoenix, some in rural areas surrounding Flagstaff and other border towns on the periphery of the reservation and some live on the reservation but in a village below the mesas or in non-traditional housing on the mesas. Thus, it is clear that there is not one pattern of settlement or residence that fully characterizes each group. The diversity represented by race and ethnicity is often considered to be the only kind of cultural diversity in the state. A look at language, which is often linked to ethnicity in particular, further provides a sense of the state's diversity.
