Racial segregation has been declining since the 1970s but it clearly exists.
For example, the average black person lives in a neighborhood that is 45 percent black. Without segregation, his neighborhood would be only 13 percent black.
The slow decline of segregation was revealed in 2010 census data and analysis by professors at Brown and Florida State University.
John Logan and Brian Stults created a dissimilarity index, which identifies the percentage of one group that would have to move to a different neighborhood to eliminate segregation -- think busing.
A score above 60 on the dissimilarity index is considered very high segregation. 22 metropolitan areas crossed this threshold.

I live so far out in the sticks, nearest blk person is 200 miles away, no joke. Sounds funny but true. Got all kinds of Indians but none of them has ever shot at me for no good reason so I get along with the Indians just fine and spend more time with local Athabaskan Indians than any of the rural Whites out this way. Kinda like life along the Yukon.
LOL

I have said for years that we need to apply all the anti-discrimination laws to ALL professional sports. Each sport — MLB, NFL. AFL, NBA, NHL, etc. — must have quotas based on racial makeup, gender, religion, disabilities. Talk about a revolution in the sports world! How about that Muslim, transgendered, Asian, asthmatic linebacker for the Chicago Bears, eh?
Those cookies are so good.
My point was I didn’t want to click 40 times for one list.
Thanks! All big cities, no surprise there.
Interesting San Francisco not on list. Why all the articles about no blacks in SF?
