    There is 30% dissimilarity.

    Explanation:

    Dissimilarity index is = 0.5 * ∑ | (a:A) - (b:B) |

    Where,

    a = population of white in neighborhood

    b = population of black in neighborhood

    A = total population of whites

    B = total population of blacks

    Thus we can solve,

    = 0.5 * (50:200) - (30:100)

    = 0.3

    Thus there is 30% dissimilarity.
