Las Vegas is black because most of the blacks in Bay Area who moved live in Vegas.

The rent is beyond cheap

Not just The Bay g, black Californians from Sac and LA out there too. One of the big reps from my side been in Vegas for almost a decade, he still slide to Sac every so often...

Vegas also attracting plenty of blacks from the East Coast, I just spoke in this last week. It's becoming a regional black mecca, it'll have more blacks than the entire Bay Area in a decade...

Good job splitting up the population amounts to clearly see where these large metros fit in tiers, but where is the source? :lupe:

They missed Greensboro.

Greensboro, NC metro population is 736,000 and is 25% African American or 184,000, List of U.S. metropolitan areas with large African-American populations - Wikipedia.
  • 25% percentage wise is more than Charlotte.
  • 184,000 raw number wise is 37th largest, between Louisville and Pittsburgh.

Everywhere...You never there.
I’m just focusing on the first two tiers ... and nothing is too surprising ...

But I said on here a few years ago that Memphis should have next , but there’s still alotta work to do before the desirability factor significantly increases .

I also said in that same thread that it’s a travesty Va. Beach-Norfolk has been so neglected when it has had sooooo much potential. The leadership there has failed (Black) people in regards to creating an vibrant scene that attracts diversity for reasons other than (military) jobs.


And Columbia has always been steady and low key a black haven ... Numbers been strong for quite some time. Now it’s just about building the political clout and leverage, which has been kinda tough but Columbia electing a black mayor was step in the right direction . If Columbia can do that and glitz up the play options a bit, it could be a hub. Its geographic location is perfect. Charlotte to the north and ATL to the south . Will play a real role in the Megaopolis.

In turn, blacks in Raleigh - Durham have the leverage and political clout , yet continues to improve its “glitzy” play options.


While Charlotte has more “glitzy” play options for blacks thanks to its buildout in the city core (its massive sprawl outside the city core as with any southern sunbelt) , it’s still improving its leveraging ability, political power and cohesive alliances among blacks there .


Richmond still puzzles me. There’s literally zero buzz for the city regarding blacks (with the exception of crime) , yet it still retains one of the higher percentage of blacks. :patrice: ... another city I felt like should
have next but I’m in the dark about the city and what its black leaders and movers are doing to position the city to takeoff for blacks .

Also gotta honorable mention Birmingham... as others have noted, as much as you south haters like to clown, the numbers are there . Just needs some direction and organization from its black leaders there .
