More a question of architecture, flat size etc. ... although America's established pattern of White Flight doesn't help.

No, what I meant is, put a public housing bloc in an area with some relatively posher housing, and a couple of people leave. Do that in America, and almost everybody leaves.[/slight exaggeration]

Like in Paris?
Ah, good point. Paris is pretty bad in that respect too.

Although I don't think there are any 90% nonwhite suburbs of Paris ... might be wrong though.

The woman has 7 children with 3 different men, one of whom she met on the internet and had an affair with.  She doesn't let them go to school most of the time because she doesn't like to be alone in the apartment.  A couple of the older ones are currently in jail.  The man has two kids who don't live with him, and to whom he pays scant attention to.  I could go on, but suffice to say they're not top calibre people.  And they're probably on the better end of the section 8 spectrum in that they don't do drugs or engage in criminal activity, as is fairly common with government-subisidized housing, unfortunately.
Nah, not letting your kids go to school is worse than doing drugs.
