How did Henry County even get on the map

Around 2005 North Henry went black, the south part still white apparently so is the rest I 75 to Macon. The yts built they own personal walled off express lane thru North Henry to bypass it.

I need to know the average school rating because a lot of times even these well to do counties have shytty schools.

Heritage in Rockdale County is alright, Dunwoody, Chamblee, Druid Hills, and Cross Keys are straight. The rest are a dumpster fire.

 

[daemonova]

Yep. Of all the DeKalb families I knew growing up, like 2 are still there. The rest moved either north, east, or south, so I'm not at all surprised to see Henry and Rockdale on this list.

Areas might be underpopulated, but there still plenty of black ppl. Tap dancers got to live somewhere.

 

[DrBanneker]

also is there a way to know for a fact if the black folks in these communities are the ones part of the higher than median number?

I hope it’s not the cacs in these areas that dominate the majority of the high salaries in the community

These are Black only median income numbers.

Yeah everyone started moving from Decatur to Stone Mountain or Lithonia/Conyers in the late 90s early 00s, then some went up 78 to Snellville, some to Henry County, some to Cobb. All my old friends I grew up with are back in the city, Brookhaven, Lithonia, Roswell, etc.

Pooling resources results in better living standards. You are/were right.

Alot of these black folks i bet are employed by the US government one way or other either contracting or directly, the government jobs is a great way for black people to move up to the middle class and get some financial legroom, another reason why GOP hates the government, they see the workers and bureacrats as mostly blacks or minorities so they dont care if it shutsdown, it isnt their voters that will be burdensome

That’s household income too. It doesn’t take much to be a top earning household, black people need to just start getting married and having traditional nuclear families. I make above the median household income by myself, throw in a wife that makes at least 60k and you’re doing better than top earning white and Asian households.

The houses are massive and it doesn’t have as much low income housing bringing it down

 

[ISO]

The fact that 50k as a household can put you on that list, shows how far behind we are as a group .

Forreal $50K ain’t shyt and that’s dead ass better than most Americans and affords a better living standard than most people in the world

Black America could easily be fixed if man and woman just stayed together and had regular working class jobs alone

U got black families in Charles County, Maryland on two government jobs pulling $200K+ a year living the life

 

[Uachet]

Some are surprised by the areas shown, but I am not. My neighborhood's average household income is $129,217. The area my neighborhood is in is on that list.

That was exactly my point. To be a half Black county, those White people are racist as shyt, and so are the cops.
