why would this be incorrect for nyc? isnt harlem, the bronx, spanish harlem parts of NYC? i agree nyc is extremely fast in gentrification - but that doesnt make it mixed on the long run

I have relatives who have lived in Harlem and Bronx. I'd say that NYC and NJ aren't separated by race but by economic status.

from my exp in the us this is extremely close correlated

Sorry to correct you, dear... I think there are 5 or 6 completely white households on our block out of 39 houses total.

Do you agree with me that Oak Park is not uniformly well integrated? (I wonder if my perception of it isn't accurate.)

Oh, yes. It is definitely not uniformly integrated. If you took a census, I suspect you'd find that the distribution of racial diversity in Oak Park is a direct reflection of the distribution of racial diversity plotted against income level, consistent with the geographic area distribution.
