New Orleans is far from integrated. Even by American standards. Not sure what made you think this.
I consider this fairly integrated
It is one primarily white section with a little diversity. Then one black section and then many outer and mixed areas. To me-most of that area looks pretty integrated.

I see masses of whites and blacks restricted to certain sides of cities. And integrated central areas (which are everywhere) but less so in New Orleans. New Orleans is also statistically one of the most segregated cities in USA besides the map.
The one thing New Orleans does have tho is commercial districts such as Bourbon where you’ll see whites and blacks mingling with no problem. But residentially both the feel and statistics make New Orleans segregated overall.

Exactly. New Orleans is like a 4th home to me. I know the city good enough to know it’s very segregated. Like you said, commercial districts are where you see different groups mingling but other than that normally it’s segregated.
I think to understand New Orleans segregation you gotta look beyond the maps. For instance there’s neighborhoods that were predominantly Black but now have White transplants living in those areas via gentrification. Now personally I wouldn’t consider gentrifying communities being truly integrated if the old residents of that community will eventually be displaced elsewhere.
So I’m some cases you see low income people living blocks from middle class-affluent people in the same neighborhood. On a map it looks integrated but in person you definitely feel the segregation.

Even in the map I don’t see much integration at all. Not sure what he’s seeing. New Orleans was statistically named the second most segregated big city after New Orleans. The gap between 1 and 2 being embarrassingly large though. I hate how Detroit gets so much bad these kinds of topics.
No its very integrated throughout the whole Las Vegas Valley. Just more white kids in a private school like anywhere thats majority-minority. It's a little whiter in Henderson and he school in Henderson are significantly whiter.
Schools in Nevada are bad and white parents are sensitive to that.
If white parents aren't sending their kids to public school in Las Vegas en masse, I don't see how it is particularly integrated if it's the same old pattern.
The only places I've seen meaningful black/white/Hispanic integration so far have been particular suburbs like Baldwin, NY. Even then, the white population is shrinking.
NOLA is 60%+ black. That’s very integrated for a city that is that black... is there one better?
Keep in mind this is my frame of reference for integration. In 2010 the Boston area was very white and segregated. But I guess Boston itself was more integrated than NO.
It’s still like this albeit significantly more Latino throughout and significantly blacker to the south. Significantly more Asian to the west.
The closest in photo is the geographic center of Boston, south of downtown. I couldn’t get another shot that only caught Boston because the city is only 4.5 miles wide.

Dallas sort of stands on its own for me as does Houston’s
I chose San Antonio. The name is heavily associated to Texas for me in addition to the Alamo.
Austin literally was a random town until somehow starting in 2005 it became like. A huge thing and now the entire country knows about Austin
FWIW I knew nothing about Austin whatsoever until I got a job offer and moved there in 2018. My original plan was either Seattle WA or West Lake / South Lake or Frisco area of DFW. Austin wasn’t really a thought of mine. I was kind of expecting it to be like Waco.
