Yes and in spite of its issues, for an area of its size, it can be a sleeper of sorts in terms of the this topic. Actually, this charter school in the city started by Steve Perry(I believe from nearby Middletown) would be a viable option in the city: https://capitalprep.org/ https://capitalprep.org/about/
I got offered a job at their Harlem School after I interviewed in Bridgeport. I video interviewed with Steve Perry.
Ultimately I turned it down in favor of a similar situation in my native Dorchester. The offer amount was horrible. I did have a friend In college who was an alumni, he works there now. Solid dude.
But understand Steve Perry is a fraud/sheister . He has many enemies in Hartford. The head at Multi Cultural Affairs at my school could not stand his grandstanding. I must admit when he video interviewed me he was getting chauffeured in a limo through NYC...He also started a day time talk Show on FOX

In New England typically have Hispanics at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder , not blacks.
Puerto Rican’s and Dominicans fair much worse than Mexicans and Cubans economically.
Jamaicans and Ghanaians fare better than African Americans economically.
Worcester specifically is one of the cities middle class blacks from Bsoton left to and it’s also the most Ghanaian city in the US and Ghanaians fo extremely well. V90% of all the crime and stuff I hear about in Worcester are Latinos.
As for Lacrosse usually when there’s not a lot of black people in a place they’re economically doing fantastic: a good example would be New Hampshire or North Dakota. LaCrosse is a college town that also has several major high tech and high paying industries with their global headquarters there. There’s only ~900 black adults in the city and they’re probably there very intentionally , so I’d imagine the few blacks there would indeed be doing well.
What parts of Worcester did middle class black people move to? I think it is a city that could appeal to people that don’t mind a mid sized city/area.
Hard for me to say, Worcester is pretty integrated except for a few parts, it's significantly less black(13% versus 23%) and more white (55% versus 44%) than Boston but its core area is probably more diverse/blacker than Bostons due to it being worlds more affordable.
People think the East Side/ Main South. But African Americans have been living in Worcester since ~1800. Back then they lived to the west and north.. what were then the more suburban edges of town nearby the Yankee elite. since then the city expanded further west and north but the black community didn't. Worcester has recently completed a Black History Trail https://www.telegram.com/news/201907...rail-completed

I did know there was at least a visible population for a while because I remember back in the day when Villanova had Dwayne McClain, who was from there and this lady that used to be on the show “The Jefferson’s” was from there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zara_Cully
this thread is like a giant Ferris wheel. Im sure the black community in El Paso TX will get its turn. Shoot even Seattle was mentioned in here
Don't mock Seattle pal! In the Barista world, it's a Black Capital. Seattle Blacks.....Lol, I can't do this anymore (Seattle's a joke in this thread but I can picture people making these same arguments and being dead serious).

I’m down for black culture anywhere, the more the merrier. If A Seattlelite wants to tell me about Rainier Beach and The suburbs south of Seattle I’m here for it.
Seattle has produced so many NBA players I do want to know what’s in the water up there.
