I moved to Lansing, Michigan about a year ago. Most of the neighborhoods tend to be segregated by income not race.
I spent about 20 years living in the Dallas, Texas area. Most of the neighborhoods tend to segregated by race. In the suburbs you might see a little more integrated neighborhoods based on income levels.
Lansing is more integrated than many bigger Michigan cities. All of the high schools in the city are pretty integrated, as are suburbs like East Lansing and the Waverly/Delta and Lansing Townships area west of the city. Even Holt is more integrated/diverse now.
There also plenty of poorer/working class urban neighborhoods in Upstate NY where Blacks and Whites live side by side. Of the top of my head, Elmira's East Side, Syracuse's Near West Side, Buffalo's Willert Park, Rochester's Maplewood, Utica's Cornhill, Binghamton's First Ward and Albany's West Hill, among others.
Go around the non-southern areas on there and look at the racial demographics.
Im my area, the majority of Lorain averages out to 30/30/30/10 White/Black/Hispanic/Other, many areas on the Westside of Cleveland are the same, some on the Eastside and Eastside suburb neighborhoods like in Euclid, Cleveland Hts., Shaker Hts., Garfield Hts., South Euclid have equal or nearly equal White/Black. Much of inner city Akron is the same. Same with Canton. Some of Youngstown, Sandusky, Warren is like that.
I thought it was the South that was always looked at as more segregated?
Particularly in the rural South, blacks and whites live in close proximity to one another. You find very few rural blacks in the Midwest and Northeast because of the migration patterns -- blacks largely moved north for employment, and those jobs were in the cities.

its not all about cities. Lots of rural towns in the South are integrated. The town I grew up in TN was, and people got along for the most part.

That is true to a large degree, but there are more small towns/rural areas in both regions that have a decent to a good mix. Here are some from Michigan for example: Cassopolis, Michigan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ive noticed people from the northeast consider DC and Maryland southern, but people from the deep south do not consider it the south.
The most northern southern states to most born an bred southerners are Kentucky and West Virginia.
But who said that most people in the deep south was Geographically Educated......
