today I'm going to tell you where black Americans are moving to in 2023 and 2024 I get emails and
requests for videos every single day there's about 10 different questions I get weekly via
email most are related to relocation real estate prices and what's a good fit for me or my family
when they ask what's a good fit it normally is a question about fitting in most of those are black
Americans asking if I think whatever location they're talking about will have a problem with
black folks or mixed race Families First of all in my opinion it shouldn't matter you can
move wherever you want sadly the reality is different you can move to any place but do
you want to nothing like moving your entire family across the country for a fresh start
and finding out for the 10 local residents might have an issue with you moving into
their neighborhood so I wanted to make a video but I wasn't sure how to do it without relying
on reputation rumors and stereotypes then I figured I would find out what cities black
Americans have been moving to over the last 10 years if they've been moving there you have to
assume that for the most part it will be a friendly City for black Americans and
mixed race families that's what we're doing today got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Denver Colorado Denver is the capital of Colorado and it's known for its beautiful scenery
and mild climate until the winter hits then it gets kind of brutal Denver has a population of
about 715 000 residents with the entire metro area having just under 3 million oddly enough they're
the 19th largest city in the United States and the 19th largest metro area Denver is a great City for
people looking for a fresh start besides the Rocky Mountains right there you got things like the
Denver Art Museum Denver Botanic Gardens a lot of great micro Brews and currently about 9.8 percent
of their population is black or African-American now I will say both because some people don't
like being called Black and some people don't like being called African-American whenever I
say just one I get grief from the other side so if you're one of the other people that feels the
need to ask me why I keep saying both that is why now in the 1990s the black population in Denver
took up about 12.8 percent of the population through the 90s and the early 2000s the black pop
population in Denver continued to shrink sometime around 2015 it started to grow again and by the
2020 census they had a positive growth the black population has grown 11 since the 2010 census in
Denver the median income for a black household in Denver is 58 300 Which is higher than the national
median and according to Pew research that national median is forty six thousand five hundred dollars
Number Nine Orlando Florida Orlando is known for its theme parks and its warm
climate now I don't know this is a thing for all Floridians I'm sure if you work
there or your job depends on the theme parks there the Floridians I know they can't stand
the Orlando area I don't know if that's a theme throughout the state if you're from
Florida let me know I'm just going off what five or six people told me it's not just the
theme parks though they have the Kennedy Space Center the Orlando Museum of Art all in all I
don't mind Orlando myself I've only been there as a tourist though Orlando's black population
has grown by 10 percent since 2010 and the median household income in Orlando or a black family is
49 900 which according to Pew research from a 2022 study like I said it's 46 500. I did
see another study that said it was around fifty one thousand so he was a little more reputable
number eight Atlanta Georgia I love Atlanta it's a little too warm for me but I definitely love
this city it is a major economic and cultural hub for the South it's also home to a number
of Fortune 500 companies as well as a thriving art and entertainment scene I've mentioned this before
but a lot of movies are filmed in the Atlanta area it seems to me that more television is now filmed
in Hollywood than movies and movies are filmed elsewhere and Atlanta is one of the bigger places
that's doing a lot of green screen and Studio work Atlanta diverse population and it's got a
very large black community always has and it's getting larger the city's black population has
grown by 10 since 2010. the median income for a black household in Atlanta is 53 200 dollars
number seven Jacksonville Florida Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida and I believe other
than Anchorage because Anchorage just has tons of land with nothing on it Jacksonville's like
the largest city in area Jacksonville is another city that has a very diverse population including
a large black community just like Atlanta they've got a really strong economy right now and it's
getting better all the time so that's good that's what's drawn a lot of people in from not just the
black community from every Community do you ever get a chance go see the Jacksonville Zoo it's it's
pretty good zoo Jacksonville's black population has grown by 11 since 2010 and the median income
for a black household in Jacksonville is 48 800 which is a little above the national average
number six Dallas Texas Dallas is obviously one of the more popular cities to move to these days
some people see it as a western City in a western state of Texas some people see it as a southern
city if it's a southern city it's probably the most successful City in the South but if it's
a western City it's actually the fourth as far as the economy goes over the last three decades
Dallas has been a hot spot for everyone not just the black community what I was doing research for
uh another video probably two years ago I came across a guy who was doing a vlog about living
in Dallas he's a black gentleman he grew up in the South I believe he was from Mobile Alabama
and he moved to Dallas he mentioned some other places he had lived but he thought Dallas was
the least racist City in the South but yeah Dallas has a strong economy and a growing
black population Dallas's black population has grown by 12 percent since 2010. the median income
for a black household in Dallas is 54 700 which is almost 8 000 more than the national average
number five Austin Texas Austin Texas is one of my favorite Texas cities I really like San
Antonio but Austin's pretty cool too if you don't know Austin is known for its live music
scene they're like the live music capital of the world they call themselves this might not
be a nice thing to say about them but they're a lot like Portland Oregon they're like Portland
Oregon with half the problems Austin has one of the best music festivals in the country which is
Austin City Limits happens like early October every year what I really like about it is how
it's not just one type of music Give an example this October on Saturday it's the Foo Fighters
rock band Shania Twain country western singer The 1975 pop rock and Then followed up by Alanis
Morissette those are the headliners for that night anyway Austin's black population has grown by 13
since 2010 and the median income for a black household in Austin is 54 700 just like Dallas
number four Houston Texas yep we're staying in Texas with Houston the fourth largest city in
the United States and home to one of the largest diverse populations in the nation this is another
city with a really strong economy and a variety of Industries including energy Healthcare and
Manufacturing Houston's got some problems and in my opinion it's probably the worst major
city to move to in the state of Texas but that doesn't mean it's completely 100 bad a lot of
people have moved out in recent years but I think the black community is seeing this as
an opportunity Houston's black population has grown by 14 since 2010 and the median
income for a black household in Houston is forty nine thousand two hundred dollars
number three Nashville Tennessee you know the good city in Tennessee actually there's several
they just got one that's completely horrible and that's Memphis I said something horrible
about Memphis in a past video a couple months back I think a guy emailed me and said don't
come to Memphis homie if you do I wanna know I said I can tell you something now
learn how to spell homie it's not h-o-m-e-y unless you're trying to say I'm pleasantly
comfortable and cozy Nashville is another city that is known for its music scene all
the way back to the 1950s well it was going on there before the 1950s but the Nashville
sound originated during the mid-1950s as a sub-genre of American country music and
back then it replaced the chart dominance of the rough Honky Tonk Country Music Nashville
has a very diverse population and their black population has grown by 15 since 2010. the median
income for a black household in Nashville is forty nine thousand five hundred dollars
number two Raleigh North Carolina Raleigh has become a hot spot for a lot of different
demographics over the last 10 years I mean pretty much every demographic has
been moving to Raleigh for the last 10 years or so Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina and
it's known for its high quality of life which it has an outstanding quality of life the city
has a strong economy and a growing black population there's a lot of universities
up in this part of uh North Carolina like North Carolina state universities there you got North
Carolina Central University up there in Durham and of course you have the University of North
Carolina over at Chapel Hill Raleigh's black population has grown by 16 since 2010. the

population it wasn't always this way though they've changed in the last 20 or 30 years in
a big way if you want to see something cool in Charlotte North Carolina go to the Nascar
