People who are flat out saying just DC and ATL need to really leave their couch, explore and do HW because LA to me still has some of the most beautiful and best black neighborhoods I have seen.
It looks like YOU need to leave the couch, and see why DC and ATL are the most talked about within this thread.
as Toronto R&B artist Daniel Caesar would say...
"Take me back to Georgia, back to Atlanta
Funny how present turns past"
They do, but seeing as how both DC and Atlanta areas each have more black people than the entire state of California, I think you can see why this is a DC/ATL centric topic.
True. But I think population of a state/city shouldn't be too much of a factor if we are focused on one type of black community.

Why should I have to leave the couch if DC and ATL are always brought up in this topic without further research? Those are two places widely known by everyone so I'm a bit confused by your point?
Based on the OP criteria which consist of black neighborhoods that are healthy, you can find those type of communities all over the US. The OP didn't even ask about cities, rather he asked about NEIGHBORHOODS
At least by CSA at least it is pretty close to accurate, Atlanta is right there. Your number was in 2010 for California.
Total Black (alone) population: 2016 02. Greater Washington DC-Baltimore CSA: 2,440,792
03. Greater Atlanta CSA: 2,067,719
California is bleeding it's Black population. As of 2018 California is around 2,261,835 blacks total for the entire state. So maybe Atlanta gets there in 5 years.
Most of the well to do black areas in NYC are far away from gentrification. SouthEast Queens, parts of Southern Brooklyn and parts of the Northern Bronx and Nassau County.
And most of those neighborhoods are meh. I’d take Chicago’s Kenwood over any Black NYC neighborhood outside of Harlem/Ft Greene/Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy/Crown Heights.
The one that immediately comes to mind is Harlem NYC, home of the Harlem Renaissance. Besides this, there are quite a few African American dominated neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens as well.
Another area that may work is the northern end of Baldwin NY/South Hempstead(both are CDP's). It covers Census Tract 412900, which has about 5900 people and is primarily in the solid/good Baldwin SD(46% Black student enrollment for the whole district and its HS(48.8% Black)had a 90% grad rate in 2015, which is usual for the district/HS according to NYSED School Report Card info). Its median household income is $97,849 and is 63.7% Black(2010-2014 info). This is a street view of a business district in that area, which actually has a nightlife spot, barbershop, a couple of restaurants, etc., but could be even better from the looks of things and there is more further north: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6780...7i13312!8i6656
Baldwin's overall Black median household income is $104,561, which is the highest of all groups in the diverse suburban community and the community as a whole is 32% Black.
That area is near the northern end of Freeport, which is 59% Black and has a median household income of $88,000(6100 people in the area/census tract). Parts of this area is in the Baldwin SD, as well as Freeport and Roosevelt Schools, which aren't as highly regarded. Parts of Freeport in the Baldwin SD tend to be predominately Black and are middle class as well. In fact, there is a census block group in this census tract that is 69% Black and has a median household income of $141,364 that is primarily in the Baldwin SD.
And most of those neighborhoods are meh. I’d take Chicago’s Kenwood over any Black NYC neighborhood outside of Harlem/Ft Greene/Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy/Crown Heights.
Im assuming by meh you are referring to architecture because that is the only resemblance I see here between Kenwood and the NYC areas that you chose. Other than that the area looks boring like many of the black hoods in Southeast Queens, Northeast Bronx and South Brooklyn.
