^In Mississppi, the Memphis suburbs, selct parts of Jackson and its suburbs, parts of the college towns and some of the other cities(Meridian, Greenwood, Tupelo, Columbus, the Gulf cities, etc) is where you'll find some degree of a black middle class concentration.

1. DC proper has gained thousands of black people since 2010. The city is not losing black people.
2. Moving to Maryland is a step down from DC. Nobody brags about moving to Maryland because you can’t brag about that. How do you brag about not being able to afford the city so you have to live in the suburbs? People are trying to get into DC, not move out of it. DC is expensive so some people can’t afford DC so they have to move into Maryland and Virginia.
I disagree with the second. Cities have a poor reputation. Why live in the city when you can live in a blue chip auburb with a large house, yard for the dog etc? I dont like suburbs at all.. but most Americans flex suburbs over cities. Anyday.
That's an interesting webpage...EXCEPT when i clicked the drop down 'White Alone' and found Hialeah at 90% + (totally False...WAY OFF).
Quote:
"The 5 largest ethnic groups in Hialeah, FL are White (Hispanic) (89.5%),"
I didn't need a data-page to prove this is wrong... when driving to Dade County, you'll need a translator to communicate with anyone. (no speake English)

That may be true in other cities, but most people give a disclaimer in DC during discussions about where they live if it’s in the suburbs. I’ll give you an example.
City Resident: Hello, nice to meet you. Do you live in the city?
Suburb Resident: No, I live in Maryland, but I’m close to the city.
Suburb Resident: No, I live in Virginia, but I’m right across the river.
City Resident: Oh……
I think this conversation happens whether in DC, Manhattan, San Francisco, and many other cities. People living in cities don’t give disclaimers for where they live. You’re either in the city or your out.

Depends where in Maryland. Bethesda? $165k median household income. 85% college educated adults. Million dollar homes. A metro stop or two beyond the city line. Kind of different from taking the MARC in from Laurel.

Hypothesis: this happens roughly in cities where the median home price in the city > in the MSA/suburbs
