I dunno about Denver or Boston, but I do know there are less blacks in Seattle. It's one of the whitest cities in America, even more than Minneapolis and Wichita.

Why is Minneapolis even grouped with Seattle and Wichita in regards to black population? Seattle is at 8% and Wichita is at 11%, while Minneapolis is at 19%. They are not in the same group. Wichita is 72% white.

Boston has a higher percentage by far in terms of comparing just the cities within city limits, but the metro percentage isn't that much higher than the other two.

I'd say that Black folks are more apt to visit Boston more due to location and proximity to the concentration in terms of where Black people live in the US, as well as Canada and the Caribbean.

You're right Wichita is whiter. I was looking at an outdated source. I wasn't comparing the black populations in those cities though, just white.
Seattle is 8% black, Denver 10% and Boston 24.4%.

Boston by far. Denver and especially Seattle are not racially or ethnically diverse cities.
