All of the cities listed have a history of being quite segregated and not well mixed. Which of these cities metropolitan areas currently feels integrated and where everyone regardless of race tends to get along. I'd imagine all of these cities have at least a few diverse suburbs. Which one has the most though?

Integrated and Diverse are two very different things. Which one are you asking?
Either way id say Atlanta but i don't know that it ever had the "segregated rep" like that.
Of these, I’d say Either Atlanta or Chicago. Like any major city, both will have its segregated areas, but as a whole I felt both to be in the right direction for integration.

Yes. And to the point of the thread, chicago is extremely known for its historic segregation but has went a longer way than most of these places.
The problem I have with calculating integration is that most cities are becoming very integrated in their booming or professional areas. The segregated areas that even the most integrated places face are the historic black or Mexican/Central American neighborhoods. Even in Detroit, it not extremely segregated in the city centers. But go to the hood and it’s a different story
Frankly I don't think Atlanta belongs on this list. It may have been somewhat segregated at one point but it really isn't anymore. At least not to the degree of these other cities.

Chicago is not integrated at all. And it’s also less diverse than other metros on here. It’s bottom of one category middle of another. Need we pull up the racial dot map for Chicago? If anything it’s made the absolute least progress on here.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt Baltimore, Detroit and Boston have made the most integration inroads since ~1990. Chicago has made extremely little and there are stats to prove that.

This. It doesn’t belong on here at all.
I don’t really feel New Orleans does either-it may be segregated but it’s not especially bad nor is it even diverse. It’s white/black. Adding southern cities dilutes the list in general because their development pattern and history are too divergent from northern and rust belt cities. Cities that grew at totally different times. There’s no point of comparison between Atlanta and Boston as metros when it comes to diversity and integration.
