It is, especially in huge metropolitan areas that African American publications said are great places to live. The fact that the publications highlight these places also speaks volumes.
Black Enterprise is a great magazine and here's their criteria:
The editors weighed the following criteria as it pertained to
African Americans in each city: median household income, percentage of
households earning more than $100,000, percentage of businesses owned,
percentage of college graduates, unemployment rates, home loan rejections,
and homeownership rates.
So this criteria and other criteria such as cultural activities and a racially heterogenous population do not solve the problem, or reduce the prevalance, of racial segregation.

This is TRULY a thread hijack as it has nothing to do with the original thread hijack. Srmom, feel free to PM me if you don't want to post your response.
