New Haven is pretty segregated. When I lived in New Haven it was in mostly Caucasian neighborhoods. Where I live now, an older suburb of New Haven, I have no immediate neighbors who are black, though the town has a good proportion of black residents.

So what's it like? I don't know... feels pretty normal to me. I grew up in a lily-white suburb. The first black kid in my classroom was in 7th grade. There were approximately 2 black families in a town of 10,000 people. Maybe one or two Asian families.
