EOTR has historically had extremely high poverty. The influx of Black wealth is a new phenomenon EOTR that began just before 2010. The Black middle-class has always lived in NW. The silver coast in Hill Crest has always existed EOTR, but that was a very small neighborhood and population compared to all of EOTR. Is that the history of those neighborhoods in NYC you’re discussing?
I agree about the high density cities compared to low density cities being separated. There probably should be two categories.
I was thinking more of SE Queens, which in spite of being largely SFH's, it is still quite dense, in the mid 80's-low 90's in black percentage and is largely middle class.

Well, that’s your answer. Look at other Black areas of NYC with a mixture of multifamily. The DC neighborhoods EOTR that are all sfh’s detached have median incomes in the middle $100k’s.
I look at my hometown with the links provided earlier: Columbus, MS - 636 black households earned $75K or more in the city. That's 10% of Black households.

There are multifamily units in SE Queens too. I'm just referring to the fact that it is relatively high density, predominantly/overwhelmingly black and generally middle class. For instance, the 11411 zip code(Cambria Heights) went from 111 black households making $200k or more in 2000 to 886 black households making that much in 2020(the biggest group in plurality), all while having about 400 less black households. 2000: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table...LSF32000.P151B

Given the cost of living, you could drop down to a lower income bracket and still be middle class.

So, there has also been growing in terms of income in parts of SE Queens as well.
Yeah, that is true. Zip Code 20019 gained a significant amount of households too. That Queen’s zip code was leading in most categories over $75K in 2000.

^Just curious, but outside of the DC talk, what are some cities that you think has seen some of the highest increases in the black middle class?
My top 10 would go like this (not in order):
NYC
Chicago
DC
Baltimore
Philadelphia
Charlotte
Dallas
Houston
Atlanta
Detroit
If I had to guess, these cities had the largest raw net gain of households making over $75K from 2011-2020. I used 2011 because it is measuring results from July 2010.
How about you? What is your top 10?
