1. Let me get this straight...you're black, you live in Alpharetta, and it's all white? There is something wrong with that statement...anyway, Alpharetta is about 75-80% white:

2. There aren't separate statistics for "Camp Creek" as it isn't a city or even a census designated place...but at least part of it is in East Point, which is 78% black - and 22% non-black:

3. Neither area is "all" anything.

You must not get out much. I know plenty of black people that live and work in Alpharetta, and know plenty of white people who live and work on the Southside.

I think the tendency is for wealthy African Americans to be in the South Dekalb (Lithonia) and South Fulton areas (Cascade). You do have your exceptions, however.

Well, the super rich live in the white areas. South dekalb/fulton do not have what they are looking for. I knew a black guy who lived in the penthouse condo next to elton john. I know puff daddy lives on spaulding drive which is a mostly white area. And i know many of the multi-millionaire sports stars and rappers live in country club of the south and other gated exclusive country clubs in mostly white areas.

It's not only the super-rich...I'm aware of plenty of black folks living in apartments in Midtown and Buckhead. They aren't super rich.

I'm not talking about the super rich or simply "plenty" of black folks. I'm talking about where the trend is overall. There may be "a lot" or a "good number" in any of these mixed areas, but the OP wants to know on average where they are. In general, it's South Fulton and Lithonia for wealthy AAs.

I was just responding to the post that I quoted...it stated that "the super rich live in white areas". My response wasn't meant as a reply to the OP - but to the post I quoted.

I still say that, in general, wealthy black people live wherever they want. Many choose to live in South Fulton or Lithonia, while many others choose to live in Midtown or Dunwoody.
