Select suburbs and exurbs in those regions are going to be the best bet, unless you are talking about a school district that is an "enlarged city SD" like you see in some states. With the latter type of district, you will have a school district that primarily covers a city, but also some suburban and even rural areas as well.
So, finding a school district like that may be another thing to consider.
I was also thinking in terms of the Midwest and OH, some Columbus suburban SD's such as Pickerington, Canal Winchester, Gahanna-Jefferson, Westerville and Reynoldsburg are some to look into.
A couple of other districts in the bolded state that is at or very close to the first part of the criteria.
Rochester is interesting. I'll dig into it more too.
Thanks for these thoroughly linked posts! Super helpful.
No problem...Personally, while East Irondequoit pretty much fits the first part of the criteria, I'd say that the Rush-Henrietta SD would be a better fit. It only lacks in terms of the percentage which isn't too much lower(about 10-12%, depending on who you include), but its black median household income is higher than all other groups in the district while still being generally middle class, it is the first suburb that black people in the area would really move to back in the late 1960's/early 1970's when Xerox and Kodak were making a push to hire more black people and it has a better academic reputation, while still being relatively diverse. It also is a big shopping hub and is home to Rochester Institute of Technology. Some of the school's HOF members illustrate how long the population has been in the district: https://www.rhnet.org/Page/207 (Lee, Warfield, Southall, Thompson, Mayo, Bullard and Norwood) https://www.rhnet.org/site/default.a...03586&PageID=9

So Durham? What are some areas/school districts to look into?
The west side of Durham in unincorporated Orange County to the north of Chapel Hill will give you the lower density/rural feel with good schools, yet still with diverse demographics.
