St. Louis County, Missouri also looks like it may have some fairly affluent majority or plurality black communities.
Lake Arbor is just a small enclave that runs into, Mitchellville, Woodmore, Glen Dale, Kettering, Upper Marlboro, Bowie, MD all good neighborhoods continuous with each other and is just the middle part of PG

The top 5 counties with a black Majority by median Household income
1. Prince George's County MD
2. Dekalb County GA
3. West Feliciana Parish LA
4. Clayton County GA
5. Hinds County MS
I had a list of about 35 counties then my computer died and well I didnt want to do it again. but I remembered the top 5. LOL
West Feliciana Parish-Angola State Prison=Majority White parish....the town of St. Francisville as well as the West Feliciana School System is largely white while the majority of blacks in the Florida Parish (Metro BR) region of LA live in East Feliciana, West BR & Iberville Parishes, as well as the BR city limits which is decreasing in its white population due to flight to the Parish, and especially the towns of Zachary & Central.
THE Washington DC area definitely does hold the majority of the affluent Black communities in the country. Most are located in the outer-beltway of Prince Georges County, MD.

THE New York City area also has a reasonable amount of high-income majority black areas. They are just scattered and not clustered up like in PGC. There is a section of South Orange, NJ that has a median household income of and is 52% Black, which actually makes it the richest majority Black census tract in the entire country. Long Island, NY has 4 neighborhoods/census tracts that are majority Black and have median household incomes of over $100,000. You also have Southeastern Queens but Southeast Queens is more middle class/working class than wealthy.

Affluent Black neighborhoods of California;
- Los Angeles has the famous Baldwin Hills, Ladera Heights and View Park- Windsor Hills but oddly. The Oakland Hills in Oakland, CA are fairly well off too but no black neighborhood in the state have a median household income of more than $100,000 though there's a few in the high 90k's.
Affluent Black neighborhoods of the Atlanta, Georgia area;
- I know for a fact that there are affluent enclaves of the suburbs of Atlanta, GA but since this region has a lower cost of living/salaries than the rest of the country, it would be be misrepresentative if I posted their numbers.
RICHEST PREDOMINATELY BLACK CENSUS TRACTS/NEIGHBORHOODS OUTSIDE OF NYC AREA AND WASHINGTON DC AREA:
Census Tract 5382:$109,052: 77% Black (Palmer Woods, Detroit, Michigan)
Census Tract 702881:$104,007: 77% Black (southern part of Willingboro Township, NJ)
Census Tract 16617:$100,968: 48% Black (section of DeSoto, Texas)
[I'm sure there are more, so if you know any feel free to add]
Median Household Income of the State of Texas: $48,286
Median Household Income of the State of Michigan: $45,254
(Note 1: ALL figures come from the United States Census Bureau)
(Note 2: Keep in mind that cost of livings vary notably per region. So 105k in NY is different from 105k in rural Alabama.)
(Note 3: The numerical/income amounts are for median household income)
(Note 4: Most upper middle class and affluent black people integrate into white communities so don't fool yourself into thinking that every affluent black person lives in one of these communities)
Southfield, MI? By what measures? Southfield median income by census estimates is around $52k. For what its worth, its in the middle of the scale. Atlanta as affluent is a bold statement. The city has ghettos and high crime.
They didn't even include Olympia Fields, IL(R. kelly has a mansion here)
LMAO, i agree...who the hell put southfield, michigan on the list? lol I have family that live there and southfield is starting to slowly turn into the "go-to" city when criminals from Detroit want to do quick crimes and make a run across 7 mile to not get caught. The only thing holding southfield michigan up is the fact the city is still part of Oakland county, and oakland county police DO NOT PLAY!
Where is Glendale, Maryland on the list? Why is Baldwin Hills on the list? Isn't Baldwin Hills located in southern L.A., if I am correct, polluted with gangs and high crime? Most of the affluent blacks (lawyers, doctors, nurses, scientists) that once lived there, are now moving out due to the number of drug dealers who were moving next door to them. They need to revise this list;seriously.

False. the flatlands of the Baldwin area have always been hood, but the hills are not.
