"Racial Integration in Urban America: A Block Level Analysis of African American and White Housing Patterns," a study by Lois M. Quinn and John Pawasarat at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, ranked St. Louis fifth best out of the 50 largest U.S. cities. The rankings are based on the percentage of residents living on black-white integrated blocks, i.e. blocks that are at least 20% white and 20% black. In St. Louis, 27.2% of residents live on integrated blocks. The study also included some interesting maps of the data for St. Louis.
