At its most generous, the "north side of Chicago" encompasses over 50 sq. miles and some 1.2M people. Surely that 5.7% figure listed on the chart is for a much smaller area.

I was wondering about that too. It looks like they rely on well defined neighborhoods in some cities and generalized areas of a cities for others. It's especially odd because the same sex household percentages by both state and metro areas don't seem to vary that much from place to place, so you would expect a similar level of concentrating in different metros. Otherwise, this is suggesting that same sex households are more segregated in places like San Francisco and NYC than they are in Tampa or Louisville.
