Most of the cities of any size here in western KY will have a black community. Paducah and Hopkinsville are around 25% black and theres also a significant rural black population in Fulton and Christian counties.

well that kind of depends on how you define city. Louisville and Lexington are the only two real cities. everything else tops out around 50,000 or so people.

but if you looking for a kentucky sized "city" (20,000 to 40,000) hopkinsville, paducah, and radcliffe are 20-30 percent black.

also bowling green (which is about 50,000) is 14 percent black.

but like i said, there arent too many real cities in kentucky. if you want something in the 10,000 to 20,000 population range i can list more.

I'm in the process of planning a move but in the very early stages. Just looking at different states/cities at the moment.

There are races of EVERY walk of life in EVERY state.

Why not just live wherever you want, without looking at the color aspect?
