Yes. You're dealing with sheer numbers. It would be more accurate to use percentages, as the LA area likely a greater number of black households than the Atlanta area due to its larger population.

Uh, no.
Atlanta has 587,899 black households vs. 441,124 black households in LA.
What's even more interesting is that all of these neighborhoods aren't that far from South Central and the kids from these neighborhoods even attend some of the same schools, like Inglewood.

Not sure why my guess deserved a rude response. First of all, the fact that you claim there are more black households in metro ATL than metro LA only goes so far. This just indicates that there are more black households in LA with a higher income. End of story.
well if you think about it, most of the world's recording studios are based out of LA. blacks predominate many forms of music, and most have to live in LA at least some of the year to be successful. many get tired of moving around and just make LA their permanent residence. also, think about the number of black celebrities from other entertainment genres such as sports, cinema, modeling, television, porno, record producing/directing, etc. that make LA their permanent residence. maybe this is what's causing the income disparity among blacks between LA and Atlanta??

I wasn't aware that DC had so many black households. Would DC metro areas include Balitmore as well?
Yes, this list is by Combined Statistical Area.
