This list of U.S. cities by black population covers all incorporated cities and Census-designated places with a population over 100,000 and a proportion of black residents over 30% in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the territory of Puerto Rico and the population in each city that is black or African American.
The data source for the list is the 2020 United States Census.
At the time of the 2020 Census, there were 47.5 million Americans who were black (either alone or in combination), making up 14.2% of the U.S. population. State by state, the highest number of black Americans could be found in Texas (3.96 million), Florida (3.70 million), Georgia (3.54 million), New York (3.53 million), and California (2.83 million). Meanwhile, the highest proportions of African Americans were in the District of Columbia (44.17%), Mississippi (37.94%), Louisiana (33.13%), Georgia (33.03%), and Maryland (32.01%).
Throughout the country, there are 342 cities with a population over 100,000. 19 of them had black (alone or in combination) majorities, and in 46 more cities, between 30% and 50% of the population identified as black. Out of the 19 majority-black cities, four were in Georgia and Louisiana and Alabama had three each.
In 2020, the largest cities which had a black majority were Detroit, Michigan (population 639K), Memphis, Tennessee (population 633K), Baltimore, Maryland (population 586K), New Orleans, Louisiana (population 384K), and Cleveland, Ohio (population 373K), and the city with the largest black population was Chicago.
List
The list below displays each city (or city-equivalent) in the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico with a population over 100,000 and a Black proportion over 30% as of the 2020 Census. It includes the city's total population, the number of Black people in the city, and the percentage of people in the city who are Black as of the 2020 Census. The table is initially sorted by the Black proportion of each city but is sortable by any of its columns, as can be found by clicking the table headers.
Cities where people who are Black alone are not at least 30% of the population, while people who are either Black alone, or, in combination with another race, do form at least 30% of the population, are italicized.
Note that New York City has the largest population of black residents among American cities. As of the 2020 US Census, New York City had 8.8 million residents, of which 22.1% where black, equating to a total of 1,943,645 who identified as black or African American. This figure is more than triple the next largest city population, which is the black population in the city of Chicago.
