Maryland is nearly 30% black and its growing (domestic migration and international immigration). Def the blackest state after the traditional south and most of the growth is in the DC suburbs.Bunch of people from DC moving down to North Carolina. Clearly it’s cheaper but it also has a nice economy and it’s not as far as Atlanta. If DC wasn’t so damn expensive, this place would have the growth of the Southern cities. Met some New Yorkers that said they aren’t moving anywhere south of DC.
btw, I expect the DFW black pop to pass Houston black pop within the next couple years.
