Down to their experience of their own neighborhoods — and whether they believe the city services, parks and schools there are good — blacks and whites in Chicago have notably different perceptions. Whites, on the hand, are more content even with the quality of their trash pickup:Likewise, whites and blacks feel the children in their neighborhoods have very different life prospects. Whites and blacks offered bluntly different responses to many questions. The data, though, is particularly revealing for what it says about the very different experiences in Chicago of blacks and whites, who, because of largely decades-old patterns of segregation, largely inhabit separate sides of the city. More than half of blacks say they believe it's very likely a typical young person in their neighborhood will go to jail.
