What are some larger cities where everyone's all jumbled in together? ... Heterogeneous.

I guess what I'm trying to say is cities that don't have specific social neighborhoods for people based on their religion, age, marital status, politics, sexual orientation, income, whether someone is white collar or blue collar, ethnicity, or what country they're from.

I'd still expect the wealthy to have their own part of town, but the rest of the city would be pretty much... you know... coexisting.

What is a "larger city?"
To me, a "larger city" would have multiple post offices, multiple libraries, at least one public community college, and a public transit bus system (yes, even if it sucks). The MSA would most likely have a minimum of 750k people.

Ample parking for unicorns preferred but not required.

Houston, apparently some recent list would prove my suggestion inaccurate but from my experiences people are mixed in very well throughout the metro.

I feel like Manhattan is what your looking for. You see every color of every religion, of every background, and that's before you walk to the end of the block.

Pretty much.

OP, I think Atlanta's a pretty jumbled city, although I don't think it's that big.

Thanks for playing but Manhattan would actually be a great example of the opposite of what I am looking for.
Manhattan has dozens of different neighborhoods... A neighborhood for each and every person. As a whole, the city may be very diverse however people are not jumbled up, they are in their respective neighborhoods.

Play again?

Like Manhattan, San Francisco has many different neighborhoods... A neighborhood for each and every person. There's no question that as a whole, the city is very diverse however people are not jumbled up, they are in their respective neighborhoods. For example, The Castro, Chinatown, Mission district.

Goodness, what an epic failure I was at describing what I am looking for.
Atlanta most certainly is a large city. The area is home to over 5 million people. And while as a whole, the area is very diverse, however people are not jumbled up. There are separate areas for yuppies, singles, married w/ childrens, gays, jews, asians, politics and of course race.

Thanks for playing but as you suspected, there is a recent list that proves your suggestion inaccurate.

You would be correct. All I'm going by is when I type into google "houston neighborhoods" and I look at the profiles of the neighborhoods.

For what it's worth, your answer was probably more on target than the rest but I'm looking for a city that doesn't have any little neighborhoods with different kinds of people. There should be different kinds of people, just not in special districts or neighborhoods. That's probably going to mean it's a much smaller, much newer city.

You want a city where there's not a single neighborhood dominated by one demographic? Given the demographics of this country that would be impossible.
Maybe a town of 1000 or something, only because they will have only 1 or 2 neighborhoods.

All large cities have people all jumbled together and they call that living. LOL.
