Yay! You guys finally are making it to the top. Keep reaching for the stars and maybe one of you will be #1 next year. {/Sarcasm} {Sarcasm}

Once you get to Memphis, the difference between consecutive cities gets pretty small (average 1.6%, with a couple ~5% drops). Not to mention the huge drop between Camden and Birmingham. So there are essentially 5 cities that need serious attention.I'm surprised that Ohio shows up with four cities in the top 25. How many of these towns used to depend on manufacturing for their industrial base? Flint's woes have been well-chronicled. The correlation with racial division and inequality of opportunity sticks out, too. I think it’s interesting how quickly the crime levels fall off.

As a visitor I probably just looked at the surface. K: Thanks for pointing it out :) Yeah, I guess mind was on my stocks :D

But I am aware of this annual ranking, been lived in St. Louis County (city is next door neighbour) for 7 years.I do believe Detroit and St. Louis are two of the most segregated cities are the US, after all these years.
