"Integrated" in my experience seems to be a contested term: - During my elementary school and the first part of my high school years, there were attempts in Atlanta to de-segregate schools via busing of students from Black to white neighborhoods. The schools where my neighbors who participated were sent to typically were not "integrated" in the sense of complete 50/50 proportionality. Typically in the Southern US, the mere presence of a Black population within a formerly segregated institution counted as "integration" [1]. - Similarly, the neighborhood next to mine formerly had covenants on who a house could be sold to. The city was founded by an advocate and supporter of the Klan. Informally, "integration" is thought of as "Well, the neighborhood used to be white by law, now the town/neighborhood is 30% Black..." The "tipping point" phenomenon, in which white residents leave if the number of Black/LatinX residents increase above a threshold is documented [2]. All that to say that "integrated" is a term relative comparison, where the majority of neighborhoods remain deeply segregated, perhaps even an 70/30 comparison is likely to count as "diverse" or "integrated", but the old patterns of power are likely to be replicated.
