Large US City Black Populations ('21 ACS estimates)

[FukkaPaidEmail]

This thread is once again exposing the fact that a lot of nikkas live in black communities in white cities’..but can’t accept it

If you’re from a truly black city the conversations on this topic is always hilarious.

Check this out if you get a chance, and gimmie ur thoughts on it, iydm.

Migration Patterns

migrationpatterns.org

My cut off line was principal cities of 750,000+ metropolitan areas. The cities that I didn't mention are smaller than that, that's all. I was really mentioning cities of size but yes, there are smaller cities especially in the South that have black populations above many larger cities...

It surgically breaks down migration patterns to and from various cities using I believe 2010-2020 census data(but don't quote me).

Made me reconsider my assumptions about a lotta cities black pops.

This is dope! I'm gonna take my time exploring it, but it already affirms that most of us stay closer to home (within the same state or a 100-mile radius of where we grew up). I'm gonna see what else I can glean from this though!

@murksiderock Interesting data on changes in black homeowners vs renters.



Further down thread includes metropolitan stats.

Awesome shyt. Do you know how to embed those images on here?

When we have these conversations on where we live in this country, we absolutely have to discuss the factors in people leaving places and why. These factors may not necessarily preclude a place from being a great spot for us as a people, but if black folk are fleeing certain places by the thousands that has to be discussed and not limited to ad hominems...

All of this stuff is public info too, there are MANY articles written about the present day black experience in all of the major cities from a variety of angles. I hate that the majority of this board lacks the willingness or ability to have full-breathed, wide-ranging conversations about this...

To embed an image in your comment click on the individual image to get to it's particular url like so....

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdTFcEfagAAw-8u?format=jpg&name=medium

Then right click the image itself and choose copy image link(im on firefox but I assume it's the same on which ever browswer), then come back to your comment and click ctrl-p and paste the image link into the box like so......

But, yeah. I agree there's definitely a dismissive tone I'm seeing from the commenters here void of any real nuisance based on a lotta ignorant assumptions(tbh I've been guilty of doing that at times tho too).

That's why it's good to drop this data in here to paint a clearer picture of the state of the black community is in various cities and more importantly hone in on the TRENDS- what direction are we HEADED, not where we WERE or just where we are at the moment.

What are you talking about? Also I feel like a lot of people said what cities they are from in this thread?

What white cities did you notice? The fakkit Cadillac is from Phoenix Mexico Arizona

Idk what the significance of those pictures are but all I really see are the numbers correlate with the cities seeing black migration vs cities seeing black flight.

So yea places like Detroit NYC and LA are obviously doing to have a decline in black homeowners who sold their home and black renters who probably can’t afford the high cost of living and relocate.

6% is the threshold where a city's blackness is in dangerous territory. Basically, half of the national average. When your city gets below half of the national average, there really is no hiding how muted the black presence is...

I've spoken on San Francisco many times---->a city that is currently 5% black but at peak was almost three times that, and has a pretty strong black history. It's one of the five most important cities in the US, a major city in every sense of the word, and yet it's Black representation has reduced so much and so rapidly, and when you're in and around the city you can feel the effects if this...

I just spent two months in El Paso, which is 3% black and isn't a tiny city. Most black people live in one small section of town and it isn't a city for black people...

I could make living in many cities work, but I don't see any scenario I'd ever be comfortable in a city that is half, ot less, of the national average. Having a smaller percentage of us is less significant the larger the city is because the bigger the city is, the impact is felt thru volume, places like Seattle, Phoenix, and Austin are only ~7% black but are large, major cities with black representation felt across different aspects. Being 7% black in a city those cities' sizes, is different than living in a city that has only 50,000 people total and is 7% black...

I think the last two months in El Paso also taught me that living along the border of Mexico is not for me. That isn't a bad thing in and of itself, and granted, San Diego is also on the border, is a real major city, so it's much more diverse than EP and the 6% black in SD is felt more strongly than the 3% black in EP. But being right on the Mexican border, would eliminate SD as a home if I ever considered it---->it's only barely black enough for me to start with, and I really don't have a desire to live around so much Mexican culture in relation to so little of my own...

The reasoning between the WHY for Detroit and NYC/LA are totally different though.

LA/NYC is an affordability issue. Which I don't see getting fixed anytime soon.
Detroit is a services issue & high taxes (lack of police, fire, good public schools).



The people leaving Detroit are the very people the city should be breaking its neck to keep. Meanwhile, NYC and LA and other major cities are going the way of Paris. Where the wealthy and upper middle class get all of the benefits of city life and the poor are relegated to the hinterlands with less access to the infrastructure of the city.

Boston more black than Miami and LA going by sheer concentration but nikkas would call me a liar because they can’t read charts

That's a fact, Boston has plenty of black people. Boston has an image problem regarding its black population, the public perception of the city has long been formatted to market "tough" Irish and other white mobs, and white politicians, and Boston has as ugly a history with racism towards black people, as any major cosmopolitan city in the country...

So people know these things about Boston. The fact the city has a long-entrenched black community and strong black history isn't something Boston leadership really marketed about the city in eras past....

Nashville has a similar issue, it also has a large and long-established black citizenry but most people can't tell you much about Black Nashville, because all the city has ever marketed is White Nashville. Boston and Nashville are north/south mirror images of each other in this extent...

I've seen posters on here from Miami clown California cities, Boston, etc for supposedly not being black enough. The irony, because Miami has been gentrifying away its black citizens over the last quarter century at some of the highest rates of black flight nationally, aint nobody from Miami got room to clown anyone else on what's black enough, with what's going on there. Miami is headed down the same path San Francisco is, which is actually worse for Miami, because it was both blacker at its peak than SF, and black people (ADOS and Caribbeans alike) literally helped build the fukking city of Miami...

The city of Miami is currently 14% black and still dropping, unless something changes the trajectory is looking like East Coast San Francisco, where the remaining black people in the city are overwhelmingly poor, and all the black people with means continue to empty out to the suburbs or leave the area altogether (the expense of Miami for sure is driving some Black Miamians north to other areas if Florida)...

They in real trouble down there. Boston's black population has dipped slightly but is mostly linear year to year and is in nowhere near the threat cities like SF and Miami are in, for black people. LA gets mistakenly thrown into this boat too, as while it's black population is still declining too, a whole lot of other cities are declining faster, including NY and Chi. LA experienced its worst black flight in the 90s and 00s, the worst of it is over and it'll probably stabilize within the next decade, but won't attract more black people in droves until something is changed with the COL situation...

Still it also isn't in the dire situation Miami and SF are in...

Black people are migrated back to the south more Black folks live in the south more than ever.

Black people are migrated back to the south more Black folks live in the south more than ever.

Yet are we taking advantage of that?
