• Description/Excerpt: Mark Rollenhagen of the Plain Dealer, along with Tom Gaumer, used Census and real estate data to show that a handful of Cuyahoga County neighborhoods are becoming more racially diverse. The story focuses on Richmond Heights, where "single-family home values are above the median for the county's suburbs and at least 15 percent of the residents are black." Typically, suburban Cleveland has seen integration followed by white flight from neighborhoods, but Richmond Heights may be a counter-example.
