In a northern multinodal metro similar to Hampton Roads, you'd expect that one or two of them would become the "black cities" and end up 70%-90% black, while others would remain heavily white.

I actually didn't know that about Portsmouth...and I am quite surprised.
Yeah, also I don't know this as a fact, but imo Virginia Beach has the least segregation of any city I can think of. There's no "bad side" of town.
