In NAACP v. North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue, the NAACP sued the North Hudson fire department for disparate impact discrimination because the fire department required that potential firefighters live in North Hudson. In North Hudson, only 3% of the population was African-American, while in the Tri-county area, 37.4% of protective services workers were African-American. North Hudson claimed

d. for the North Hudson Fire Department, because the NAACP had not proved a prima facie case of discrimination
