Top 10 Highest Income Majority/Near-Majority Black Counties

[Wink Beaufield]

I like Charles County, but that commute .

My wife and I were checking out a house out there, being in the middle of nowhere and those taxes

Them houses are nice out there, but yeah, 301/MD5 is straight hell. If I get a full time WFH position then I might either go out there or Columbia, SC.

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

 

[Depreciating Asset]

Where are all yall six figure six certs brehs living at? You either telling ducktales or you living in non black neighborhoods

Which one is it?

Columbia, Darlington, Florence, etc

What's this guy's problem

Why does a thread about nice black areas have a few people desperately trying to start conflict and arguments?

That dude is miserable fam. You can see he has some sort of complex, I think it’s because he’s from the poorest country in the world.

How is Henry County?

68k median income is pretty good for Georgia.

They're probably talking about Stockbridge, where TI live. That city has more money. It's in Northern Henry County, and it's about 57% Black. McDonough is mostly Black too, at about 62%. But the money is on the Northern side of McDonough.

But coming from the DMV, Henry still feels racist to me.

Columbia, Darlington, Florence, etc

Columbia is in a strategic location that has an airport, train station and easy access to the interstates. You close to Charlotte, ATL and the other southern cities without fighting the nasty housing market in those areas.

 

[Laidbackman]

Surprised me too being from Dekalb but a lot of the educated transplants or retired people build houses out there now.

I can't click with the Blacks on the south side of Henry, where it gets more and more White...racist Whites at that.. I think the more educated Black transplants stay on the north side of the county.

Henry has gotten better overall, but not quite enough imo.

For Charles and Prince George's see:

however for Charles, keep in mind that population growth is almost exclusively nonwhite, and driven by 200k household income black families.

I can't speak for the Atlanta suburbs or Virginia but I imagine the GA counties are similar to the MD counties.

GA counties, other than a few like Clayton, and Dekalb, etc,,,are more alike the further out counties in the DMV, like St Marys, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Frederick, etc... And you know what comes with that.

I'm a Decatur breh too but to be fair, DeKalb been falling in the rankings for about 20 years. I wouldn't be shocked if somewhere like Durham, NC and pushes them out the top 10 in the next decade.

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.

 

[Laidbackman]

This was filmed on the southern side of Mcdonough, where it gets more mixed with trash. You wanna be on the northern side of that city. Check out the 57 second mark. I'll take PG...they don't allow White boys to grit on brothers like that.

Not gonna lie. This do remind you of growing up on the Black side of the tracks.

A 2000-2500 mortgage isn't that bad...

It's the same as Median rent around the country so it ain't too bad but... fukk that.

Different states different fates. If a $2K mortgage was feasible in an area where I'm not worried about myself or my belongings, I'd be happy.

 

[Laidbackman]

only 2 of those counties are ok.

Nothing impressive about 50-68K for a county.

It seems that you are more impressed about the list than the actual numbers.

Tbh, they looked at you like you was Phil Huxable, if you mentioned $60,000 down here in 2006. I'm taking about from the people who thought they arrived. I had just left the DMV from a job making 77K, and was barely making ends meet up there.

Yeah I couldn't do that myself. But I get why some people like it.
