I am a resident of Desoto and own a business in Lancaster. The problem we run into with these communities is that the majority of the black people that live there and make up the most wealth in the community do not actually work there. Typically, the professional people are driving miles to work either to downtown Dallas or even further. I first noticed this when I myself had to commute the 37 miles one-way to Plano everyday for a consulting role. All the traffic flowed to the north in the mornings and to the south in the afternoons. There aren't many black owned businesses in these communities that are employing people in numbers. Also, we typically don't own much land in these communities. That's not always completely our fault though - "they" don't like to sell to us. I've tried to buy a few different properties in my area only to be either hung up on or lied to. Still, in order for us to hold a true stake in the game and really call these "black communites", we'll need to own some of that land. Community investing needs to be our next step

[@MsMichelleAK1]

As someone that moved to Texas from the East Coast, I will say there are pros and cons in every area mentioned. To me, the main con is traffic. The people I know that live in those areas have a 45 min.- 1 hour commute time to get to work every day (not so much so in Ft. Worth). Rest assured, the commute is not fun! Texas drivers are challenged and its good to say a daily prayer when getting on the main highways every morning and evening. In addition, most of the "Southern Tier" cities mentioned near Dallas have those large populations of Blacks because they never move! They and their families have lived ONLY there. While people say they are welcoming, I will tell you ... it's not that simple. Anyone that wants to move here I highly recommend they move as close as they can to where they work. I live next door to Mesquite in a very new community and am quite content. Mainly, because most of the residents are from other cities. Good luck, everyone!

...yep 'they' are still persecuting the poor, 'they' are still murdering the prophets! The city of ft. worth(police) abducted my wife and 4 children(while I was incarcerated)and 'chipped' them all with the mindcontrol chip.my wife was rapped by the hi ranking inmates in the jail.i was also probed.all of this just because I didnt bow down to the 'illuminati'.I'm now a targeted individual,and the voices that I hear in my head(everyday) are the high ranking inmates(youngsters),the witch,and the demon that kept trying to get me to play a 'game'to win my family members back.Now the most high God has plagued the earth with Corona and all I say is "BLAME FT. WORTH TX!" Peace and love

These class sizes!! 😍😍😍 currently teaching 22 2nd graders in Texas. Due to most being online at the beginning of the year, I started off with 14. It is a HUGE difference now that all are back in school. Lower class sizes allow teachers to focus on students' individual needs. This is most likely the reason for such high achievement rates in these communities.

I live in California and i heard of the dallas and houston suburbs. So i went out there to check all of them out. Let me tell you, i have never seen a all african american city of atleast 75% of our color and living well with well manicured lawns, mansions, home ownership, black own businesses, and so many professional african americans in my life until i went to desoto. Now i am in the process of closing on a brand new home almost 5k sq footage. I cannot forget you get your bang for your buck in texas as cost of living is waayy lower than California so the home im purchasing the size and area i could not ever own anything close to it where i live. In these comments i see a lot of individuals say this and that about desoto because they live there. If you were born outside of an african american city you will see how us Californians and anyone feel about wanting to come to a city where our ppl are. My kids have been called the N words several times, and family have been looked over for jobs because they dont speak fluent spanish. So by all means our perspectives will be totally different from your perspective as we see things in the light of what you see on tv as our people Are really out here getting killed and abused by not just the police but by neighbors and store owners and etc because we dont have our own living close by and looking out for each other like we did in the 60,70, and 80’s.

Happy to see a video about Texas. “Affluent” and “richest” is an oxymoron when this video talks about neighborhoods that has only $50k or more average income...$50k income is very far from being rich or affluent. I live in DeSoto, TX...the city that holds the #1 position. Lived in Cedar Hill for 7 years before DeSoto. Own several rental properties in Lancaster, TX.

@@SlimLighty Exactly...income has nothing to do with net worth. That's why I was not being too hard on the author because they did not use the wording "cities with the highest net worth"...but it is also a real stretch to say "affluent" and "richest" in the same sentence as $50k average income. This only proves what several of Black economists have been saying for years...there is very little wealth in the Black community.

My grandparents were from Fort Bend County. I had always visited Richmond, Texas a lot. I am surprised that Pearland and Manvel haven't been mentioned.

[@dezgarrett2790]

These are "black" communities I supposed. Pearland and Manvel and parts of Missouri City (Sienna, Riverstone, Lake Olympia) are more diverse than anything. But there also a lot of black people. I live in Sienna and there's a ton of us there, but its also very diverse. Guessing that's why 77053 and 77489 are mentioned....they're right on the outskirts of the more blended communities. I grew up in 77489, and my HS (Willowridge) was in 77053, and its NOTHING like it was when I lived there.

I'm born and raised in Sugarland/Missouri City/Houston... All I can say is as a black man you will be harassed by Police like you're in the old South. I'm preparing to leave my "affluent" area right now cause of that. I dress normal , am a full time real estate investor and can't seem to have peace from the Police in my own community. Missouri City Police have harassed black citizens forever. I rather live in peace than be stopped 4 times in 30 days all with no reason or ticket , all within a mile of my $300k house... Do not move to Houston Texas if you are black and have money, I'd recommend anywhere else where you don't have to get stopped on your way home from Bible study for being black! When the cops stop black people Missouri City it's like a mini interrogation. They have treated my Mom and sister like this as well. Stay away from Missouri City my good black folks!
