African American neighborhoods or black communities are types of ethnic enclaves found in many cities in the United States. Wealthy African American homeowners have gravitated to these affluent neighborhoods in pursuit of lower crime rates, better schools and neighbors who share their culture & socioeconomic demographics.
Our Zip Code Series is the most popular content on our channel and we’re excited to cover New York. As part of the criteria, we only considered communities that have populations of African Americans that are at least 40% and where the median household income is greater than $70,000. These prestigious neighborhoods are where African Americans are succeeding in terms of income, homeownership, and academic achievement. We also factored in cost of living, economic equality, and livability.

[@dr.leestonepsychotherapist]

The video is based on the numbers (stats) not based on aesthetics, crime, or opinion. The truth is the neighborhoods on the list (10 thru 1) are all predominately working class neighborhoods. Black communities are like no other racial group's community. In Black communities you can literally have a surgeon living next door to someone who receives government subsidies. This phenomenon is primarily due to the systematic racism. Let's be mindful not to feed into the negative stereotypes about our neighborhoods. Contrary to what we are always shown, good people and love can be found in all Black neighborhoods--those are the things that truly make a community rich.

[@ckh937610]

I’d say that they are actually middle class given that they have median household incomes on par with the metro figure and up.

[@soleil3759]

Definitely not opinion or much of anything else. Not even based on black Americans but blacks people from other parts of the globe. This list is used to make black Americans believe there’s actually good things happening in these locations regarding them and they’re not.

There’s absolutely nothing glamorous about Jamaica, Hempstead and Springfield Gardens. The only places on this list that I would live in is Cambria Heights, Rosedale and maybe a few parts of Elmont..note that these places are more middle class than affluent. The nice part of St. Albans is called Addisleigh Park but it’s very small. I think Wheatley Heights, Baldwin, North Valley Stream and Lakeview out on Long Island are way better options than this entire list. These are all middle class. There are no truly rich AA areas in NY.

Uhm Flatbush is actually nice, so the list is on point. Every area has its nice sections and crappy parts. If you don’t live here now, it’s impossible to compare from 5 to even 10years. Jamaica has its section. By the LIRR is horrendous but property prices will be insane nonetheless and there will be affluent people who want the ease of commute to travel easily.

Keep in mind it is saying the TOWN of Hempstead, not the VILLAGE of Hempstead. There is a difference and the Town includes Baldwin/Baldwin Harbor, Elmont, the Valley Streams and Lakeview, with parts of Uniondale, Freeport and Roosevelt. It also is about zip codes, not necessarily a whole community.

Be sure to visit the amazing International African Arts Festival in Downtown Brooklyn (Vinegar Hill) from JULY 1-4 at Commodore Barry Park near the Navy Yard and Harlem Week In August. The Brooklyn Academy of Music (Fort Greene) is where the cultural and performing arts are alive and thriving. I would prefer to live in Scarsdale (Westchester County). However, NY STATE was not discussed in this video presentation.

[@ckh937610]

Yeah, if they just used their usually criteria, they would have listed some other areas of Long Island and even an Upstate area or two. Again, if you look Upstate, the 13224 zip code in Syracuse is about 30-36% black(depending on who you include) and has long had a middle class black presence in the Salt Springs neighborhood(a predominantly black working/middle class area). I would look east of Seeley Road in particular and there is a park which hosts a black run little league(Inner City LL). Bethany Baptist is the 2nd oldest black church in the city and is in that area west of Seeley Road. There is some shopping nearby on Erie Boulevard East and a Salt Springs bus line to Downtown/near Syracuse University.

Thank you for being a rational thread because all of Harlem & Bed Stuy isn't a ghetto but if you let people w/poor writing skills on the comment section tell it....

The elite wealthy blacks of Long Island live : New home section of Amityville, Baldwin & Baldwin Harbour, Dix Hills, some Live in Garden City Park, Bridge Hampton is white town, but a lot of super wealthy Afro Americans live there too. The top 2 in my opinion is Baldwin Harbour and Dix Hills. Wheatley Heights nice is too. As for Hempstead village is very dangerous with the worst school district in the state of NY. Elmont is joke 🤣🤣😂 White people and Black folks moved out in early 1990's. Elmont is now a West Indian ghetto. If you think I'm lying just check Google it or KZbin.

yea no, I've lived in hempstead for 13 years. on the "nice" side of town close to Rockville Centre, the house I recently moved out of is about 120 ft from the sign @1:36. the town is not affluent, it's 70% full of low class latinos, the high school has some of the highest STD rates in the country and the lower grade schools are in trailers and built next to projects and shit. the town taxes are insane. idk how these lists are made, but more due diligence is certainly required. there is now way in hell the avg income in hempstead is $71k, I promise you it is beyond impossible. the trick is the town of Hempstead encompasses most of Nassau County (It's basically split between town of hempstead, north hempstead, oyster bay and city of long beach) so this income figure is probably for town of hempstead which includes several rich towns like the racist garden city and old westbury. most people in hempstead (village of hempstead) are poor and on public assistance.

Having grown up in Cambria Heights, went to school in Jamaica, lived in Rosedale and just having spent the last six years in Springfield Gardens, it’s no wonder my wife and I moved OUT of NYC. It’s amazing to see Springfield Gardens on the list because I can tell you factually that in 2022, there are still companies who will not deliver there. Cambria Heights has become an investor’s dream (buying from older people, fixing and flipping for huge profits). Rosedale is starting to decline because many of those who can afford to live there, don’t, and are choosing to move to more affluent communities. Yes in terms of homeownership, the percentage is higher and that’s because you need a car in these communities. There are buses and with the exception of the Long Island Railroad (Laurelton/Springfield Gardens, Rosedale, St. Albans, Hempstead terminal), the only zip code on this list that is closest to subways is Jamaica and this on the way to be gentrified (which is starting to happen to most of these zip codes because people are being priced out of other neighborhoods). It’s great to do a video when you try to base it on stats, but data can be manipulated and having lived in many of the areas (rented and owned), I’m happier that I have moved out of NYC.

On arriving to New York from Panama my parents choose to live and raise us in Harlem. When folks were leaving they choose to buy real estate and instead of flipping rented bringing more poc . As we the kids grew we were gifted a home it is wonderful for me my husband and kids to live here. Would not live anyplace else. Zip Code 10031

[@10472bxgirl]

So glad to hear your parents invested in real estate and left their children a legacy. You all are definitely blessed. I am originally from NYC & just couldn't figure out how to get into the real estate game there. It seemed unreachable at the time so I moved. I have lived out of state since the late 80's but NYC is still a place I'd love to own real estate. After visiting last July I realized the interest is still there.

[@ckh937610]

@@10472bxgirl Look Upstate too, as it can be very affordable and many of the cities are starting to revitalize the blacker and other parts areas of the cities. I’m talking not only Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, but even in the Hudson Valley and cities like Troy, Schenectady, Utica, etc. People may not realize that the bigger Upstate cities have higher black percentages than NYC and on par with boroughs such as Brooklyn and the Bronx. Even many of the smaller cities are in the 15-40% black range. A lot of Bronx transplants too. So, don’t sleep on it.

If you want to look into other parts of the state, Middletown and Beacon have generally middle class black populations. Parts of the bigger Upstate areas have some solid city neighborhoods and suburbs that could/would work(NE corner of Buffalo, outer 19th Ward/Homestead Heights in Rochester, Salt Springs and Strathmore in Syracuse, Delaware Avenue and the SW portion of Albany, parts of towns like Amherst, Cheektowaga, Chili, Gates, Greece, Clay, Salina, DeWitt, Colonie, Niskayuna, etc.).

[@ufcgymstudiolansdalepa8164]

I think you are mixing the Town of Hempstead and the village of Hempstead. The Town of Hempstead has multiple villages with multiple zip codes. The Town has a total population of 759,793 with African American's representing 17.4% totaling 132,203. The village of Hempstead has a total population of 55,113. African American's comprising 48.3% totaling 26,619. I grew up in Lakeview West Hempstead. Lakeview is an unincorporated village of predominately African Americans. West Hempstead is in the Town of Hempstead. Elmont is in the Town of Hempstead. Most of those communities in queens are on the boarder of Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead. If the Town of Hempstead were a city, it would be the 18th largest city in the country.

[@ckh937610]

Exactly…Baldwin/Baldwin Harbor is another town of Hempstead area with a big black population that is middle class. Some even upper middle to affluent. Same with the Valley Streams(North, South and VS). Those are communities that come to mind along with Lakeview and West Hempstead.

[@nicoleedwards9077]

Jamaica? Hempstead? You've got to be joking.

[@bigstaryu]

Very few Afro Americans live in Bronx. Lot's of Afro Latino's and other spanish live in Bronx. Also, there's wealthy Jew section in Bronx. Call Fieldston. Blacks near there prefer Harlem in Manhattan over Bronx. West Harlem section of Harlem very upscale and, brownstone home can cost between $ 4 or 5 million dollar range . They have million dollar brownstone s list here on KZbin. Elmont & Hempstead are ghetto dump's. Long island elite Afro-americans live in. areas like : Baldwin & Baldwin Harbour, Wheatley Heights, North Babylon, South Huntington, Dix hills, Garden City Park, New Section of Amityville. Bridge Hampton is white town, but has lot of super wealthy Afro Americans living there .

[@CashMoneyReckadz]

I have to disagree with most of this list. NY in my opinion does not have affluent Black communities, it just has affluent black individuals living amongst their affluent white counterparts. It’s not like the Atlanta or the south in general where you’ll find legitimate affluent black enclaves. Some of the towns, like Hempstead, are legitimately undesirable places to live. You used stats from the village of Hempstead but spoke of the amenities that most of Nassau county offer which, aside from Hofstra, are all outside of the village. Also, Hempstead has one of the worst school districts in NYS.
