Triad rates
well on
integration
Sunday, Aug. 20,1989
reensboro News & Record.
By JIM SCHLOSSER
Staff Writer
The Triad — where 30 years ago blacks couldn't enter
most restaurants or sit with whites at baseball games —
now ranks as one of the "least segregated" metropolitan
areas in the United States, a University of Chicago
study shows.
Using 1980 census data on housing patterns, the
study focused on 60 metropolitan areas and divided
them into three categories: most segregated, moderately segregated and least segregated.
The Greensboro, High ^^^_^^^^^^^

between segregation
and discrimination. J

Chicago researcher
Point, Winston-Salem
metropolitan area
ranked 11th out of 20
cities with the "least
segregation." Anaheim,
Calif., a fast-growing
city south of Los Angeles, was ranked first.
David Dansby, president of the Greensboro NAACP chapter, doesn't dispute the report's findings, but he said in an interview
that he hopes the report's authors realize housing patterns don't tell the story of racial relations here.
"They would convey a very distorted picture if (they)
try to conclude that blacks are not discriminated against
in Greensboro," Dansby said.
The authors do not claim their report measures the
quality of racial relations.
"There is a difference between segregation and discrimination," said Nancy Denton, a research associate
at' the University of Chicago who conducted the study
with Douglas Massey, director of the university's Population Research Center. "You may have a problem with
discrimination there. Our study looks at where people
live in neighborhoods."
Chicago was ranked as the most segregated city in
America, followed by Detroit and Cleveland.
Five years in the making, the report measures racial
i We have a lot of
problems that need
to be worked out. J
