The Bay Area is a good candidate.

The 415,510,650,408,925 and 707 area codes are like We are the world.

^ lol indeed

I read this thread as asking which MSA's have low-diversity core cities, but very diverse suburbs though, and the Bay Area does not fit that bill at all. We have diverse core cities and tons of diverse suburbs too.

I would vote for Atlanta, while the city is mainly black and white. The suburbs are very diverse.

Houston and Dallas. Well; Houston depending on how you look at it.

Metro Detroit.

Detroit proper is about 85% black. There is a Mexican area on the SW side of the city, and some young white professionals in the downtown - midtown area and thats about it.

Dearborn, a suburb is about 1/3 arab, the second largest arab pop. in the U.S.

Southfield, a mostly middle class suburb is about 2/3 black.

Hamtramck, is a glimpse of what Detroit usad to and could be. The most diverse town in Michigan.
About 20% Polish, the rest include Ukrainians, Albanians, Arabs, Bangladeshis, black, and many others.

Theres also a fair amount of Jewish, and a decent amount of Asians in some of the metro areas NW suburbs such as Troy, West Bloomfield, and Birmingham.

If you consider Ann Arbor, (most people don't. Its just a thriving college town that happens to be close by) theres lots of diversity there.

DC suburbs by far...The MSA/CSA is already the 4th most diverse after NY, LA, Chi and most of that diverse population resides in the Maryland/VA suburbs. The suburban area is overloaded with Hispanics, East Africans, West Africans, Asians, etc.

Aurora, Colorado is more diverse than Denver.

Well "diversity" can be read in two very different ways. One would be different groups that all live together, the other would be huge population of different groups that don't necessarily live peppered all around each other.

For instance Chicago is quite diverse with almost 2 million hispanics, almost 2 million black people, and 400,000 Asians, but a lot of that population is grouped together in neighborhoods or suburbs that are majority one or the other.

I believe the black population is by far the most segregated in the metro. The Asian/White groups seem to be the most integrated all throughout the metro, and the Hispanic population, while fairly grouped together in certain areas within the city, is much more spread out in the suburbs.

I would say Orlando here. Within city limits it is mainly black and white, but like Atlanta our surrounding burbs are extremely diverse, especially the ones on the south and east sides of the city
