That's a good question. Chicago is a very racially segregated city, but so is the San Francisco Bay Area.
You bring up several anecdotes, mainly involving a killing and a feeling of safety. The plural of anecdote of is not data.
I've lived in some bad areas, but never anywhere with the racial tension that seems prevalent in Chicago. But I will say, if you're not in the East Bay, if you walk into a bar full of black people, if you're not black or with black friends, you walk back out again real quick.
