Yeah, the Bay Area could definitely use more blacks to add to the large presence of asians and hispanics. Though, I personally feel that blacks are a bit more distributed in the Bay than in SoCal. Either way, blacks in California are suburbanizing rapidly...so I'm sure inner east bay cities outside of Oakland, Richmond and Berkeley will soon house substantial black populations and the blacks from San Francisco may relocate to the northern peninsula.
i have a feeling a lot of blacks are leaving the state altogether.

LA is more a place of demographic extremes. almost completely anglo suburbs, almost completely hispanic suburbs, almost completely asian suburbs, etc.
I feel like the Golden Gate bridge is basically the only thing keeping Marin as part of the SF region...it seems really cut off otherwise
That's the nature of the Bay Area. You get a similar feeling of separation in the East Bay once you cross the Caldecott Tunnel or once you go over 580 into the Tri Valley. You get a similar sense of separation in Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz and Solano County. That's just how it is.

Its pretty similar, 5.8% of the LA CSA outside of LA city is Black and 5.1% of the Bay Area outside of SF, Oakland and SJ are Black.
And if we look at the counties with the highest proportion of Blacks, we see that in both LA and SF, Blacks are moving from the inner cities to outlying suburbs and even neighborhing Metros such as Sacramento, Stockton and Baksersfield.
The 4 "Blackest" counties in CA are actually in Northern CA.

Alameda 12.1%

yeah, i think a big part of the norcal having the blackest counties is due to the massive size of LA county. I think the South Bay region may be 14-15% black.
Guidelines: 1. State whether you're using MSA or CSA, and if you're not using either state what you're using to reflect your metro's suburban region
2. State what you consider to be the "city-proper" (i.e. the city whose demographics will be subtracted out of the metropolitan total)
3. State where you're getting your data
4. Shorcomings of data
1. Chicago-Joliet-Naperville,IL-Lake IN MSA
2. Exclude city of Chicago, Kenosha County, WI, and Porter County, IN
3. USAtoday.com 2010 census data
4 Only Cook County saw a decrease
Total Suburban Chicago MSA population for 8 counties- 6,231,793
Counties- Cook(suburbs only), Dupage, Lake, Will, Mchenry , Kane, Kendall, and Lake(Indiana)
I'm too lazy to look up Pittsburgh's numbers, but it's a reasonably diverse city surrounded by mostly lily-white suburbs. I say "mostly" because some river towns like Aliquippa and Duquesne are predominantly black, and some suburbs like Monroeville and Franklin Park have emerging Asian populations.

Yes, the areas in and around the South Bay have the highest concentration of Blacks, but both Northern CA and Southern CA have really spread out African American populations.
