We may think of segregation as a matter of ancient Southern history: lunch counter sit-ins, bus boycotts and Ku Klux Klan terrorism. But as the census numbers remind us, Northern cities have long had higher rates of segregation than in the South, where strict Jim Crow laws kept blacks closer to whites, but separate from them. Where you live has a big impact on the education you receive, the safety on your streets, and the social networks you can leverage.
The following is a list of the nation's most segregated metropolitan areas of over 500,000 people. The rankings are based on a dissimilarity index, a measure used by social scientists to gauge residential segregation. It reflects the number of people from one race -- in this case black or white -- who would have to move for races to be evenly distributed across a certain area. A score of 1 indicates perfect integration while 100 signals complete segregation.
And none of them are in the south:

excellent find RM thx. There are some interesting blurbs in their to as to urban 'redevelopment' which demolished 'distressed' minority neighborhoods that never came back, that have not fulfilled the function the development was intended to.
there is I think, a political correlation to be had here as well...

Decades of "Racial Pride" training and yet some people are actually surprised about the "self segregation"? How else could they think that happened?
I grew up in L.A. and was a little surprised to see it was #10. The cities in L.A. and Orange County are segregated by more than just Black and White but Asian and Hispanic as well. You can practically guess the racial makeup up the city by the amount of garbage in the streets and the run down housing. There are exceptions but that's generally the case.
White and Asian areas: Nice.
Black and Hispanic areas: Shit.
When I was a kid (late 60's through the 70's) we'd visit my grandparents in the San Gabriel/Rosemead area of L.A. where my dad grew up and it was heavily Hispanic and trashy. The last few times I've visited it's been cleaned up nicely by the Chinese who have practically taken over the two cities.
So it's gone from White to Hispanic and now Asian. So I don't really see that as "segregation" but actually part of the "natural order of things" I guess.

Try again. Your theory is flawed.
On a side note, I like how Tennessee, Arkansas, West Virginia and Kentucky have just "American" as their main heritage.
I think thats census speak for "Y'all are a bunch of fucking inbreds!"....lol.
(no offense to anyone from those states, it just tickled my funnybone).

And yet among the ten most segregated cities, you don't find a single one located in the 'racist' south. I think that is really interesting.
Technically, 'American' is not an ancestry.
Everyone living here is an ancestor of some migrant. The only question is how far back in time we need go to determine where our ancestors came from.

Simple my last four generations ancestors were American, that is all I care about, in determining my background!
