That sounds like a lot of black people for a place in Colorado. What is the area with the highest percentage of blacks in the state? Outside of Denver?
Surprised that no Florida city has been mentioned. The cities down there may lack the density criteria, but there is a very large PR and Dominican population as well as large amounts of West Indian Blacks there that is either as large as in NYC or a close second.

Very true! That's probably the closest you'll come
Maybe Lynwood or Compton, CA? Both are about half Hispanic/half Black now, and are quite dense
Most Hispanics in Compton and California as a whole, are MEXICAN ,Not Caribbean (Puerto Rican/Dominican)

Again most Hispanics there are Mexican, I should of clarified that I'm talking about Eastcoast cities being that that's where Hispanic populations are predominately of Caribbean-origin.
True in that damn near all these cities have Hispanic populations that are predominately Puerto Rican/Dominican, however SOME of these cities have very little blacks in them, Reading PA for example is only 6% black
In terms of built form, there is no such place, except maybe parts of Upper Manhattan.
In terms of demographic mix, Miami comes closest, with huge Carribean Hispanic population, large Carribean black population, and whites are heavily Jewish.

Do a large % of Jews still live in the Bronx, I heard from my Jewish friends from NYC that most of the population moved out. I know at one time the Bronx was like 40 percent Jewish one of the highest in the world. Most of my friends when I was living in Manhattan were Jewish almost all of them because I am Swedish I didn't really fit in and they were the one culture I found to fit in with the the most of all ethnicities in NYC, Italians as well.
PA- Allentown, Lancaster, York, Harrisburg (same reason as Rochester NY), Philadephia (especially North Philly)
Honorable mentions go to Lawrence (MA), New Haven (CT), White Plains (NY), Jersey City (NJ), Atlantic City (NJ), Reading (PA), Chester (PA), Coatesville (PA). Also, you can include a neighborhood or 2 in Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago each.
When you take out the urban factor, you can also include Florida areas like parts of Orlando and Miami, and to a lesser extant parts of Tampa and Jacksonville, can be seen as demographically similar to the Bronx. Especially areas like Poinciana and Pine Hills in the Orlando area, or an area like North Miami.

I wrote that the white population of the Bronx is heavily Jewish (which it is). It's probably one of the most Jewish white populations of any county in the U.S. (perhaps the highest).
That's why it's demographically like Miami. Both have small white populations by %, but the % of Jewish within white population is huge.
Yes, 60 years ago, prior to suburbanization, the Bronx was very Jewish overall. But today the Bronx is mostly Carribean Hispanic (again, like Miami), with a sizable black Carribean population (again, like Miami).
