Surprised that Miami's number is so low. Gentrification?
Not at all Miami city limits are very small, and don't really represent the entire county Miami dade county actually has about 450k Black people. The same can be said for most Florida cities to actually get the big picture you have to look at the county populations. Broward County just north of Miami has an additional 500k blacks.
I would also make the assumption that Blacks are probably severely undercounted by the census at large so all of these cities probably have much larger Black populations.
South Florida as whole is one of the few places where Blacks are pretty much everywhere throughout the metro, the metro is still relatively segregated in some places, but you're never really that far away from a black community even in affluent beach communities like Palm Beach you're literally right across the lagoon from the black community of West Palm Beach.

Well, you have to consider how small the cities are in terms of land and in turn, population. A lot of black people in the state live in suburbs of NYC(as well as other areas) or quite a few of the smaller cities in at least substantial numbers/percentages(Yonkers and Albany are in the 30-35,000 range, with about 12 others having at least 10,000 or more).
I did a breakdown in a couple of threads, but I believe it is about 2/3rds AA, with the others making up the rest, give or take a little bit.
Alrighty. I seen it mentioned before in many topics but forgot what estimated percantage.

This list focuses primarily in cities not counties, msa, cmsa, etc. I will get into counties later though. Also other ethnic communities top 5 as well.
Denver city, Colorado - 64,805
Aurora city, Colorado - 55,821
Colorado Springs city, Colorado - 28,631
Pueblo city, Colorado - 3,175
Fountain city, Colorado - 3,058
Interesting...What about Security-Widefield, Fort Carson, Boulder, Pueblo and Fort Collins?
