I know there are some Black folks in Walton, but I'm not sure about their experiences there. It's actually in Delaware County. Some places that way you might like and have some Black folks are Delhi, due to SUNY-Delhi being there and Sidney, due to Brace Residential Center-which is a "facility" for youth. Sidney and Walton are rivals in sports too. I'm not sure about the other communities mentioned. I know South Kortright and Davenport have some Black residents too.

I wondered about the low percentage, but that's not my main concern, i wanted 2 kno just general information about the towns.
