According to

THE END OF THE SEGREGATED CENTURY: Racial Separation in America's Neighborhoods, 1890-2010 by Edward Glaeser and Jacob Vigdor,

The isolation index is designed to distinguish this sort of scenario from one where neighborhoods have dramatically different racial character. It measures the tendency for members of one group to live in neighborhoods where their share of the population is above the citywide average. In this hypothetical example, black residents live in a neighborhood that is 2 percent black, which is just 1 percentage point higher than what would be expected under perfect integration. The isolation index would therefore be on the order of 1 percent, rather than 50 percent.
