the neighborhood i live in now (edgewater, chicago) definitely seems more diverse than my college dorm, but i went to a small private liberal arts school in minnesota that definitely skewed affluent and white.
my current neighborhood has everything from families living in million dollar SFH's to people living in rundown 4+1's on section 8 vouchers and everything else in between. it's still mostly non-hispanic white (55%), but has a decent representation of the other major american groups too, black (15%), hispanic (15%), asian (12%). my dorm in college was definitely whiter than that.
but the far northside of chicago is an unusually mixed-up place relative to the rest of the city which definitely earns its hyper-segregated reputation.
