Which Zip Codes has the highest percentage of African Americans with a bachelor Degree or higher? Master Degree? I would assume the DC/Atlanta/NYC areas would be in the mix here. Anybody got any info on this?
Yes I got some of the data now i have to break it down by zipcode and educational level. Thanks.

This is always interesting to me...as I see the Chesapeake Crescent from BMore to DC to Richmond to Norfolk/VA Beach represented on here but I don't see either Raleigh or Charlotte on here.

That's mainly because of the government/military presence in the area in the Chesapeake. That's why Fayetteville, NC has a higher Black median household income than either Charlotte or Durham. Raleigh's is a little higher, but it also has the government presence being a state capital.
That as you can imagine is only a fraction of the black professional class in the Boston area.
I think he/she means is there a large percentage of the total population of people in Boston that make up the black population of middle class people like in DC, ATL, and NYC?
We really should be using area median income (AMI) for this versus the $100,000 metric. D.C.'s AMI is $76,440. That is the number we should be using for middle class.

Well, the issue may be that cost of living plays a part in terms of what is considered to be "middle class". As mentioned before, I know that Pew Research uses 2/3rds to double the median household income as the range for "middle class". That makes sense, as median just means middle.
This is below the calculator: Your size-adjusted household income and the cost of living in your area are the factors we use to determine your income tier. Middle-income households – those with an income that is two-thirds to double the U.S. median household income

These are some interesting articles that I ran across that may shed some light on this:
