OP: New York, Atlanta, DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Los Angeles, Charlotte, New Orleans, Baltimore--you have quite a few options, and each city has different types of black men that run the gamut from all socioeconomic walks of life.
for a diverse population of black people (afro-dominican, cape verdean, haitian-american, ...) i would propose miami, boston, montreal.

Reason: added potential ethnicities.
Title says it all. Looking for a city that has elible black men to marry. I am from pensacola and everyone marries their high school sweetheart. Not much competition here as well.
Why don't you just browse online on a free websites like POF and look what different cities offer. That would give you a better idea of what you can expect.
Looking for just black men online my actually help you change your mind to consider something other than skin color.

Plenty of eligible black men in Pensacola. Most important thing to do is to set intentions. What is an eligible black man to you? Do you even know what you want in a man, much less his race? Gather that together first. Write down what it is you're looking for, down to the specifics such as his income, looks, etc. You will manifest him once you let it be known what it is you seek. Location is irrelevant but you can put down where you want him to be from. Everything is at your command.
Another poster mentioned Portland, but I'd advise against Portland if you want to date within your race. Only about 6% of Portland's population is black.
I would look to the cities with a significant Black professionals population. DC, Baltimore, Chicago, Newark, Houston, Atlanta and Cleveland are good examples in my opinion and would choose accordingly to where you feel you can transfer your occupation easiest along with obvious financial considerations.
These cities do indeed have a huge black population. Must be many eligible black men there.
I however believe the sex ratio is of great importance when considering chances of getting married in a city. For some reason there are a lot more men relative to women in western parts. Thus competition is lower.
I checked the sex ratio of these cities for black people (black males per 100 black females). Also checked the total number of black men. They are as follows for the 25-39 age range:
City - Black Sex Ratio - Total Black men
-----------------------------------------------------
Washington DC 84 - 126k (really 126,394)
Baltimore 82 - 74k
Chicago 81 138k
Newark / New York Metro cluster 83 - 316k
Houston 85 - 100k
Atlanta 80 - 170k
Cleveland 76 - 31k
Roughly 8 men for 10 women. Not very high, I must say. These are American Community Survey 5-year estimates based on a 2010-2014 dataset.
Minneapolis 94 - 29k
Springfield, MA - 130 6k
Poughkeepsie 111 - 5k
Few cities have a ratio above 100 in the eastern regions apart from these. In the west there are a few, but the number of black men are less than in those major eastern cities
San Diego 131 - 21k
San Jose 116 - 6k
Seattle 115 - 25k
Portland, OR 115 - 8k
Denver 109 - 17k
Phoenix 105 - 22k
Since blacks comprise a smaller percentage of the overall population in those cities, the men have of course more chances to bond across races.

There is the military presence aspect, as well as the fact that out West, there seems to be more men than women, in general. For instance, Phoenix, Seattle and San Diego fits both of those criteria. I believe that Denver does or did as well.
I also wonder if this is just Black alone or is this in combination, as that may change things a little bit.
Poughkeepsie fits the military presence aspect with West Point in the area.
How is that a bad thing that the OP knows exactly what she wants? I could easily say that instead of narrowing her options, you're asking the OP to lose focus and be too general in her mate selection.
And why shouldn't race be a big factor for your love life? We're talking about the most intimate relationship in life, here. There's nothing wrong if you only prefer to date within your race.
What's with the grammar Nazi stuff? It was a barely noticeable typo. Kinda sorta like how "etc" in your reply lacks the requisite period following it
