In relation to this thread and for those still viewing it or looking for such areas, these chapters of this organization may be worth looking into or contacting: https://m.facebook.com/JackandJillROC/
National website: https://100blackmen.org/ (Syracuse has the only other chapter in the state, but I believe that there are similar organizations in other areas)
There are chapters in Westchester County, Long Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Eastern Shore(Suffolk Co., likely the Hamptons, Greenport, etc.) and some may go to the chapter for the Hudson Valley.
Also, here is some interesting information I came across from an article written last year...
"There are 364 majority Black Census tracts in the US that have a median household income of at least 106% of their county or metropolitan area’s median household income. Of these, 37 are in the Washington region and 29 are in Prince George’s County; only the New York metropolitan area (61 tracts) has more than Washington, and only Queens County, New York has as many as Prince George’s County."
Also..."Just under half of the country’s 2731 Black middle-income Census tracts are found in just seven metro areas: New York (466 tracts), Chicago (196 tracts), Washington (190 tracts), Atlanta (166 tracts), Philadelphia (117 tracts), Baltimore (112 tracts), and Detroit (94 tracts). Middle-income tracts with populations that are at least 80% Black are even more clustered: more than two-thirds of them are found in these seven metro areas, with half in just the top four: New York, Chicago, Washington, and Atlanta. The remaining majority Black middle-income Census tracts are mostly found in the South, and particularly in cities and rural areas in the Black Belt region."
"The six high-income, majority Black Census tracts in New York, in contrast, do not form a contiguous belt: four are located in eastern Queens, one in western Nassau County on Long Island, and one on the outskirts of Newark." I believe high income means census tracts with a 6 figure median household income, but there are some at the time that were/are just under 6 figures as well in the area. Some census tracts that are relatively current that fit the criteria, Queens: https://censusreporter.org/profiles/...638-queens-ny/
Keep in mind that all of these census tracts between SE Queens and western Nassau County are continuous and there are others next to them in the $90,000's as well. Some others not attached, but nearby; Queens: https://censusreporter.org/profiles/...434-queens-ny/
This also means that SE Queens/western Nassau County has or may have one of the biggest concentrations of mostly black, middle class neighborhoods in the country.
