Let me add that what I noticed is that outside of going to the galleria, everything they told me they did, such as going to museums, nightlife, restaurants, etc., was inside the loop.
The Galleria sits right on the loop, so it’s basically included with the rest.

Which zip code is Midtown in?

Zip code 77004 (Third Ward) is only 46% Black. Is that Midtown too? That is the same Black percentage most mixed neighborhoods have in other cities. They wouldn't be considered Black neighborhoods though.

Third Ward = Zip Code 77004

Is this Midtown?

Just an FYI, zip code 77004 (Third Ward) is only 46% Black. That is the same Black percentage most mixed neighborhoods have in other cities. They wouldn't be considered Black neighborhoods though.

Third Ward = Zip Code 77004
If you would listen to what we’re saying… Lol.

77004 includes Third Ward, parts of the Museum District (whiter than Third Ward) and Midtown (whiter than Third Ward). The latter two bring down the black percentage of 77004. 77004 isn’t just Third Ward. Third Ward is over 50%. Go by the Census tracts. I tried to pull them up, but I can’t on my phone.

Midtown Census Tract

Here are the census tracts for Midtown. You can click through to see them. Most are less than 20% Black.

Until I can get the 2020 Census tract website to pull up, here we are:

https://www.niche.com/places-to-live...-tx/residents/

Third Ward is 60% black. Scroll down and look at the actual map of Third Ward.

Midtown is 17% black; I actually got it confused with Downtown, which is 32% black.

Yeah, Midtown is going to be mostly white. 288 is the dividing line. Places east of 288 are going to be more black in concentration. Places to the West not so much.

I posted it already. Here you go:

Census

Add whichever zip codes you want by clicking the "geography" tab.

Niche is wrong.

Some of those are wrong.

I used this before: https://mtgis-portal.geo.census.gov/...ed2b2fd7ff6eb7

The site you used and the aforementioned site have different percentages. Hey. You know Houston.
