When we initially launched the Black Excellist Channel in 2017, our very first video highlighted what our research uncovered as the most affluent neighborhoods in the United States for African Americans. These black communities are ethnic enclaves where the wealthy and highly-educated African Americans gravitate to. We have refreshed our US Census data sources to reflect the most current demographics with new income, education, and population statistics. The neighborhoods we found are very diverse and 6-figure incomes are the norm. These are suburbs of major cosmopolitans where you can enjoy the amenities of a close-knit, safe neighborhood but also take a short commute to enjoy the attractions of a metropolitan.

@Winndell Johnson it's really not. Plus, cold is relative. Anyone who's lived south of SC may view a relatively 'northern' clime like what's here in the DC area "cold". Thanks to global warming, we had less than 30 days' worth of cold temperatures, and a way above average number of days' worth of relatively warmer (>70°+) temperatures this past year. But, I get it. Also, The moderator hit the nail on the head when she used the word 'enclave' to describe the area: money is a sort of barrier to entry around here, regardless of any skin tone or claimed ethnicity(ies).

PG County, has to make up its mind, if it wants to remain the black bastion it has been to black people.

Gentrification is in full effect!!! P.S. Most of National Harbor is owned by or developed by a company named The Peterson Group....out of Virginia!!!

[@glokid6318]

Kenneth Smith yeah we hear you but black folks in PG aren’t really concerned with gentrification because it doesn’t really affect us. “gentrification” only affects the lower income communities from a social economic stand point. As stated in this video the average black family in Bowie neighborhood alone makes almost $200k a year. No offense but gentrification doesn’t really apply to people with that high of an income. The only reason black communities in DC were affected by gentrification is because DC’s black communities are for the most part extremely poor and impoverished. The same can not be said about most black communities in PG County MD. It just cant.

Some of the homes you show as being in Baldwin Hills are actually in Windsor Hills and View Park. It’s Complicated if you don’t know the area. Everyone seems to lump us all in the same neighborhood.

I was about the write this. I see if you type in Baldwin Hills zip code they give the Ladera Heights zip for some reason.

I have lived in Atlanta and Dallas...and have been to all of these areas. I would put Cedar Hill at number 1 because all of those other areas have crime. All OF THEM! the hardest part about trying to live in around our people...we can make good money and have great credentials, but the hood is always nearby. If you make a good living and want to live around ppl who look like you, you probably want a safe community. A safe place to raise a family right? Most of these neighborhoods on this list have mid to high crime...especially PG County. To me that defeats the purpose of wanting to move up. It's sad but it is true. I know all of these places. In terms of quality of life, safety, and good school districts...none of these places check off all the boxes, and they should because some of our brightest live in them. But its just a fact. We don't have too many desirable neighborhoods. I've frequented or have lived in every single area on this list except Missouri, but that town in Missouri is a suburb of St. Louis and that is the murder capitol of the country. So it can't be too spectacular. But again...Cedar Hill is a good area to raise a family in, and maybe Stone Mountain (it's ok but has high crime areas too). I would say Baldwin Hills is the worst because its bascially in the Crenshaw district. It has cool aspects to it, but it's still kind of considered the hood even with all the money that's there.

[@decounltd5485]

SORRY FOR THE LONG REPLY BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS!!!. You are missing the point here. This video is not about the safest neighborhoods for black people but the richest. Don't give PG a bad rep. I could have easily bought a house in Montgomery County because after coming to this country black immigrant, they painted PG as the crime ridden county of black people like you just did. While renting in MoCo, I had too many run ins with the Cops. Fortunately, for me, I took some classes on African American studies in college which changed my whole perspective on being black in America. When it it was time to buy, My wife an I decided to buy a house in the Mitchellville area of Bowie and that was the best decision we have ever made. All of my neighbors as far as the eye can see are all affluent black people. I have NEVER had any problem with the police or crime nor have anyone called the cops because I had a party or anything. Our neighborhood is safe by all standards and with the recent increase in house prices, our home values have almost caught up with some of those in the "white neighborhoods" of MoCo (since their houses were already way too over priced and cannot appreciate by much anymore). We have our problems but we shouldn't look down on our communities and run to where white people are. Let us fix it!!! We purchased our home for $750K in 2019 and as of today, it is valued at over 1.3 million🤑. Non of the houses in my HOA is valued under a million and the average home value in the 2 adjacent communities is 750K. That equity has done wonders for us because we used it right. Dreams do come true in black neighborhoods. Let us address our problems and not run away from them.

Baldwin Hills used to be as described, however LA is a awful place for Black people. What’s interesting is that the Baldwin Hills area is that it has become heavily gentrified and has financially been starved. Anti blackness runs rampant in La. Black residents, despite having an above average college education rate, are under employed or unemployed and make up the majority of skid rows homeless population. What’s also troubling is LA’s lack of job stability and competitiveness paired with anti black culture and covert racism that commonly comes in the form of hiring discrimination and red lining. Baldwin hills should have never made this list.

Being from the A, and living in B'head, I almost wasn't on board with this list. It seems pretty close though. So I would agree.

Its has maintained its quality.

[@jamaica1765]

@@carolynforney3398 yes it has. The news paper ran a story as to how surprising it is that the area has remained so beautiful after the black community moved in after the white flight to long island.

Go Randallstown!!! Go Baltimore city!!! I’m a proud graduate of Bethune!!! I love my town!

Thanks for dropping a comment! 🙏🏾

[@sammiesmith6690]

Good list. The most expensive black real estate in the Matrix USA 🇺🇸 is still in Los Angeles proper (Baldwin Hills/ Windsor Hills) & in Los Angeles County (Ladera Heights).

[@divineorder22]

This is very misleading. Why is it that we have these communities and families have to send their children to private schools because the public schools in their communities suck. Why is this? I lived in Bloomfield. Great community but the public schools were not good. Hartford should not even be mentioned. I am sure other communities on this list are misrepresented as well. Atlanta has a lot of black wealth but the public schools are awful. The black community needs to focus more on educating their children and teaching them better behavior management skills.

[@janetwehrer2662]

Yes, instead of accepting bad schools are just complaining research how to make your schools better. What does it take? Behavior is a big key. Every time a student misbehaves they are stealing your child's learning.

I LIVE IN BOWIE, MD BABY!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@eshadiva6600]

Good list lol I'm shocked my hoods in queens made it. Yes average house here is about $400k now and salary is like $150k. Right now my house value went up to $500k. But I don't want to live in NYC forever. I'll be looking to retire to another city on this list in another 20 years.

[@user-ob9tc2iv3c]

Go to Maryland so your still close To NYC or New Jersey or PA

[@auvalora9763]

I love the areas in PG County, MD.

[@258athletics]

I'm surprised to see Stone Mountain on here.

[@thebrowbarllc]

Me too! I had to look at when this video was made! This may have been true at one time… maybe the late ‘90’s.

[@glendamiller4435]

I used to live in Cambria Heights in the 1960s and it had a lot of white people but they moved out when blacks started moving in.I am glad to see it being one of the richest neighborhoods in nyc.

[@markfennell1604]

yes i remember the baldwin hills from the tv show.

[@unknowingreaper6556]

Do have any stats on communities that are on the rise or some sleeping areas you think have a lot of potential for growth? Curious to see what other cities are out there.

[@brownskinbeauty.]

This is an excellent suggestion

[@wayofthegun6224]

Rochester New York buffalo NY Eastern pa (the Poconos) Norfolk Virginia Virginia Beach everywhere in north Carolina ..I say north Carolina Bec Biden is going to throw a lot of money at north Carolina Michigan and eastern pa ..I got a friend that's already buy up property in pa..

[@wayofthegun6224]

Oh also Providence Rhode Island and u have a thriving black community in the Boston suburbs...

Salute to "Bowie State University" indeed.

Aye aye aye aye...Bowiee

[@derrickweaver5262]

Just a point of correction. Stone mountain village is not in Cobb county, its in Dekalb county.

[@brownskinbeauty.]

I've always wanted to move some where majority of the people look like me. Growing up in California and hearing the stories about racism had me hesitant about moving to the south. This list opened up new options I've never considered before hand

[@al5603]

D.C./Maryland is not really the south, it's pretty much in the middle of the north and the south so you'll see plenty of well off Black people.

[@laurenmiller508]

Come to PG then.

[@brownskinbeauty.]

@@laurenmiller508 I want to take a trip out there. I'm sick of California

[@brownskinbeauty.]

@@al5603 I see well off black people in Baldwin Hills, but a lot of the times the ones I meet, they try to distance themselves from the black culture.

[@user-ob9tc2iv3c]

Maryland, Dc pretty much East Coast. To be real East Coast > West coast especially for blacks. Plenty of blacks that making it in the NYC metropolitan area and DMV along with a few other areas

[@thebadstation8416]

Man are you even speaking English

[@nicolefavours4262]

I can't speak for all of the communities but I would love to know what part of Cambria Heights that is because that doesn't look like any of the homes I know to be in Cambria Heights. That looks more like a Manhattan apartment especially with the brick row homes seen through the windows. Even the aerial view isn't Cambria Heights. There's no train going through the community.

[@chadeeplans]

I'm a Cambria Heights homeowner and not a single clip of Cambria Heights appeared in this video. The information about the neighborhood is accurate.

[@rhondacowan2206]

I grew up in Cambria Heights - when did it become upscale lol

[@stoneychi8648]

The fact that I went to school in cedar Hill 🤣

[@wayofthegun6224]

Cambria heights is the same as the Wakefield section of the BX it's the same as Mount Vernon NY new Rochelle norther valley stream ,Nyack, central Harlem ,canarsie Brooklyn, Norwalk CT Stamford CT and areas in east NJ full of black well to do people with homes ranging from a million and up..

[@user-ob9tc2iv3c]

Keep it a secret. A lot of people don’t know about this and that’s good

[@audtasticgirl]

Lived and taught in the metroplex. Cedar Hill doesn’t have great school districts. Some are decent. So, if you have children, I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a school district. If you are wanting your child to go to a PBS, then sure. But scores aren’t great. There are better schools in the DFW area.

[@gregorydonaldson4878]

Saint Louis made the list. Haha I love my city.
