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.

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.

So Glad to see the Bronx on the list

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 know you joking about St.Albans...it very dangerous

Yes indeed, that's why my father packed me and my mom and headed to North Carolina where they originally came from...🤔

Ethnic enclaves cumulative wealth showcase black initiatives for excellence.

Only elmont is a good place to live! The rest of these places have shittt public schools

This video is 90% caaaapppppppp🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hempstead is beautiful.

I own the brownstone in HARLEM 5 Story 7 bedrooms 7 fireplace 3 full bathrooms 1 kitchen walk in closets Backyard ETC ETC

Many of these places barely have e black Americans left in them and they’re struggling. A large percentage. These areas are foreign born and first generation blacks from African and the Caribbean predominantly.

Few Multifamily houses

You lost me at Pelham Gardens. Nothing affluent about it

This list is just a tiny bit incorrect but mostly correct. I saw my daughters Girl Scout leader in this video. This is home.

The people leaving negative comments need to go back to grade school. English writing skills should be more important than trying to persuade rational people to take you seriously. Get your house in order first.

This is not true

Steinway and Astoria are not in Jamaica.

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

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 KZread. 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 .

I live here in new york all my life and i dont come from wealthy family working class family . Being in hempstead long island on the side i live on its working class area . Its not wealthy . Other side of hempstead is

Apologies for being outspoken. I am wondering about the standard of this video. All I can say this is New York and unfortunately if you are a Consumer with means. There is no place mentioned in this video where the Good doesn't come with the Bad.

That's anywhere in the world not just NY. Where there are people there is good & bad.

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.

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.

Yo y’all Steinway st & astoria Blvd ain’t nowhere near Jamaica. I live in the J. Hts/E. Elmhurst/Astoria area. That’s where Steinway & Astoria Blvd. are. Careful now. Cause outside of Jamaica estates, Jamaica ain’t too great of an area ✌🏽

So much is wrong with this list. So many untruths

Pelham gardens isn’t an AA community

They are talking about the Bronx neighborhood, not the Westchester County town.

Queens NYC made for Royal living.

First of all Steinway street is not in Jamaica, Queens. It's clear across town in Astoria and 2nd of all Jamaica is not just 30 minutes away from New York City, it's in New York City therefore IT IS NEW YORK CITY! So what is this ding Bat narrator talking about ?

This list is not eighth and exact

This can be some what confusing. The black ppl that are in these areas are mostly of African or Carribean heritage. They are not Foundational Black Americans.

In short, this is a TERRIBLE list!

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.

Q. How much are the Victorian homes in Flatbush Ditmas Park worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Bronx Pelham Gardens worth? Q. How much are the Brownstones in Harlem & Bed Stuy worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Queens Laurelton worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Holliswood worth?

You should be ashamed for making this video! It’s nothing but false and inaccurate information

Further every segment references sights and amenities from ither zip codes and therefore is meaningless.

Richest communities or neighborhoods?? Communities have EVERYTHING THEY NEED - a neighborhoods have things they want

Nope.. too expensive for the amount of house you can get.

Where’s Harlem?!?!?!?!

Yall cant be serious no cap these are hoods 🤣

Rent lower then Brooklyn rant

Am I supposed to be impressed with enclaves? Show me a viable, respected, feared brown nation! Black Wallstreet was also an enclave!
