Chicago and Detroit don't surprise me at all. New Orleans seems to be integrating a little bit after Katrina.
Heres what the least segregated city in the Northern US looks like: All sizes | Race and ethnicity 2010: Indianapolis | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Even the black majority northeast side has whites and Hispanics mixed in too.
Plus the northwest side/Pike Township is very diverse.

I suggest when you move to Indy you apply for a job as a Indianapolis promoter.

He has never been to any other city besides Indy, and when he goes there, he is all Gee Whiz at what a wonderful place the big city is, all the bright lights and tall buildings and everything. He also seems to think that a few whites and hispanics mixed into the black neighborhoods is unique to Indy, and makes it somehow special and excludes it from the category of segregated, like all those other cities that have no whites or hispanics mixed in the black areas.

"Indianapolis's black-white dissimilarity score is 64.5 . . . A score above 60 on the dissimilarity index is considered very high segregation."

I'm proud to see that my metro is not on the list! Growing up in the San Diego region on a cul-de-sac of ~20 houses, we had 2 immigrant mexican families (and 1 non-immigrant one), an immigrant family from africa, and immigrant family from China, and 3 families of mixed racial ancestry. Some good times in that neighborhood. Except the Chinese family had really bad English and the african family was against Halloween haha.
