Based off median family income its ATL, DC, and NYC

In DC, if you ain't got it, you pushed into a small section of town that still resembles late 80s DC plagued with the bullshit niggas with families trying to avoid. I'd assume its the same in NYC

What is 'it'though? Your telling me if you have a decent job, you're living in that same small section?

Atlanta and Austin

how is Austin one of the best cities for blacks when it is rapidly losing its black population

The city's African-American community, however, is seeing a decline in numbers, with a 5.4% decrease between 2000 and 2010, according to the Census Bureau. Now, many residents of East Austin, the city's historically black quarter, are looking for ways to reverse the tide.

East Austin is where most of the city's African-Americans have lived and raised their families since the 1930s. African-Americans once accounted for as much as 25% of the city's population. Today, blacks make up only about 8%; the number will fall to 5% in a few decades, according to city projections. The change comes as new residents, mostly young white professionals, are moving into East Austin and many blacks are relocating to the suburbs or other regions of the state.

Fuck what you heard...Atlanta still the truth for Black people.

Atlanta seems dope

Today, the Atlanta MSA has the third-highest total of black households with incomes above $100,000 (behind only New York and DC metro regions and ahead of metro Chicago). By 2011, 83,349 high-income black households lived in metro Atlanta, a 51,085-household increase since just 2000.30 The Atlanta region is now second only to the New York City MSA in terms of its number of black homeowners. Between 2000 and 2011, metro Atlanta's black homeowners nearly tripled (from 110,872 to 317,411), surpassing totals for Chicago, Washington, and Philadelphia.31

This might sound crazy but I think Detroit can be one big black wallstreet. Most white people have left, there is a lot of vacant space to build and there are a lot of residents are determined to rebuild the city.

If enough of the black upper class and entrepreneurs commit to it it can be done.

Idk about all that but it may not be a bad idea to invest now in Detroit. Bc when it comes back, it aint gon be niggas. See New Orleans, see DC real estate

So, basically areas in the south where there are more color.

i doubt places like Jackson MS are great places for black folk even if there are a lot of black folk

last time i was there which was bout 2 years ago i was told its a rough area in the hood spots, all kinda niggatry, but there are more and more jobs opening up, and there are nice peaceful suburbs like flowood which is where i visit
