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.

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.

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.

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.

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.).

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.

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.
@ckh9376102 жыл бұрын
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.

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 .
