Racial segregation in different US cities

[acri1]

No real point to this thread, but I some interesting maps of how segregated different major cities are. Pretty crazy that it's still like this in 2012.

Note: Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, and Orange is Hispanic, and each dot is 25 people

Detroit: Everyone is black in the city, and everyone is white in the suburbs

Chicago: White people cluster on the northside, and avoid the south

Los Angeles: White people live on the beach

Philadelphia: Blacks live in North Philly, Whites live by the river and in the suburbs

New York: Asians live in Chinatown, black in Harlem, and whites live on Central Park

New Orleans: White quarters and black quarters

Washington DC: The inner city is all black

Boston: Hispanics live in Somerville, Blacks live in Dorchester, and Whites live everywhere else

Miami: There's Little Havana in the middle and Little Haiti in the north

Twin Cities: Blacks live in North Minneapolis and South Saint Paul

Atlanta: A long, clear north-south divide

Seattle: Bill Gates lives with other white people around Lake Washington

Newark: Blacks live in the poor South Ward

Long Beach: White people live on the beach

Houston: Clear racial divisions fan out from downtown

Cleveland: Blacks cluster in Hough and other midtown corridors

Phoenix: Hispanics live in the south west

BONUS: Bay Area is relatively mixed! But the best real estate is white and Asian

I call B.S. on Brooklyn being anything another that whatever color you get when you mix red, black, orange, and green together. You can blacks in Williamsburg, whites in Bedstuy. NYC is the most integrated city I've ever seen. Other than that, most of the maps are on point.

those maps are way off, especially for ny. segregation is real, but it's not as polarized as those maps would suggest.

Seen these maps before. Segregation started with race first and now it income. In Houston, from Both sides of Highways 59 North (northeast), 59 South/S. Main (southwest), Interstate 45 (northwest) and 288 (southside) is where black people live.

As black people start making money, they move to the closet suburbs near their hoods. I-45 North (Spring and Cypress), 59 North (Humble), 288 South (Missouri City and Pearland), 59 South (Richmond, Sugar Land, Missouri City). All those suburbs have a crazy increase in black people. Pearland used be a hick town back in 2000, but they are very close to Sunnyside and 3rd ward which are huge black hoods. Now its one of the most diverse places in the Houston area. Believe it or not, black people actually helped raise the profile of Pearland as a legit suburb in the Houston area.

Its the reason why although black people make up about 28% of Houston, it feels like its a lot higher, because we are on all sides of town and we live close to where all the fun is and everything goes down at.

Dallas and Austin Probably the two most segregated cities in Texas. South/North divide in Dallas and West/East in Austin. If there was a map for that, you will be

I feel ya. Gentrification is changing some parts of Chicago too. Black people are way deeper than I thought in more areas than I thought in LA. Keep holding it down out there

you'll find conservative cities in texas and CA's central valley are really mixed. I think it is because of the lax zoning laws.
