Big metropolitan cities are seeing high levels of residential segregation: Apartment List study
“Some of the largest housing markets in the United States also happen to be the most racially segregated, according to a new study released on Thursday. Online rental marketplace Apartment List found ‘significant patterns of residential segregation’ among major areas – in spite of many of those places enjoying reputations as cultural ‘melting pots.’ Milwaukee, New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland round out Apartment List’s top five most segregated housing markets — with places like Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington also ranking high on the list.”
