If that data could be collected/found/cross referenced. I doubt that is a possibility, and thus this probably is one of the 'best' maps of segregation (for some definition of best).
Also, this is what a history of segregation looks like. Its worth remembering that small towns, at least in places like Ohio, were so inhospitable to African Americans that they were referred to as "sundown towns" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundown_town http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundown_town ).
When people think that racism is over, maps like these serve as a pretty good starting point for asking them to reevaluate their POV.
Of course, there's always this you could start with too:
