Slovenian from Cleveland here and I can confirm that Ohio has some of the worst diversity in the country (I've lived in Cleveland, DC, Houston, Dallas, and SV) that I have experienced. The metropolitan neighborhoods are highly segregated by race and socioeconomic class. Summers regularly stay over 100 degrees and winters regularly stay under 32 for weeks at a time. It's far from the coasts and Lake Erie is disgusting (full of dead fish and debris). The people are generally racist and homophobic and like country music far too much for their geographic latitude.

Here's a question for you. According to your definition of "diversity" does the fact that Cleveland has the largest Slovenian population outside of Slovenia make it more diverse? Does the fact that Cleveland's ethnicities tend to form their own neighborhoods indicate less diversity, somehow? I always thought it was cool that Beachwood had the highest concentration of Jews anywhere outside Israel, but maybe instead of viewing that as an indicator of Cleveland's diversity, people think my God, they're putting their Jews in the ghetto.
