Still, it found that many urban centers remain highly segregated, with blacks more likely to live in isolation than other ethnic groups. The top areas in each category:
Most integrated
1. Orange County, Calif.
2. San Jose, Calif.
3. Norfolk, Va.
4. Tampa, Fla.
5. San Diego
Most segregated
1. Milwaukee
2. Detroit
3. Cleveland
