Demographers use a "dissimilarity index" to determine the relative segregation of various metropolitan areas. A score of 0 means there is complete integration and a score of 100 means complete segregation (distinct ethnic neighborhoods). The level of segregation in various studies only looks at white/black segregation.
These have concluded that metro Milwaukee is the most segregated metropolitan area in the US with a score of 81.5. (Note that this is the metropolitan area, not the city. Studies on segregation don't seem to rank individual cities).
- Milwaukee ranked number one on the Frey-DeWitt study of the University of Michigan's Social Science Data Analysis Network. (March 29, 2011)
- The John Logan of Brown University and Brian Stults of Florida State University study ranked Milwaukee number one, tied with Detroit. (March 2011 study of 2010 census data)
- Another Frey study ranked Milwaukee number one. (December 2010 study of 2005-2009 census data)
