I would have assumed Hartford had a better educated black population than Providence, given that the Hartford metro area has a couple of middle-class suburban areas with high concentrations of blacks, most notably Bloomfield, Windsor and East Hartford.
I grew up in Southern New England, and every time we would travel to Hartford, I was always amazed to see so many black people driving around in cars. To see a black person operating a vehicle in and around Providence was a very rare occurrence, as most seemed to utilize public transportation. And in Rhode Island, if you took the bus everywhere, you were considered poor.
