Maybe a few individuals here and there and in most other places none at all. Just to the east of Rochester around Ontario there is a population who are mostly rural farm workers. In Watertown there will be soldiers who are African American posted at Fort Drum, mostly young and transient. In college towns there will be some students who rarely stay after graduation.

Now if you're talking the major upstate cities like Rochester, Albany, Buffalo, and Syracuse. Generally it will be adjacent to the downtown section.

Besides Fort Drum, here are some former and current military bases that brought diversity and Black soldiers/families to their respective areas: Plattsburgh AFB, NY - SAC - 380th Bomb Wing - B-47, B-52, FB111A

Griffis AFB - SAC - 416th Bomb Wing - B-52

Here are residential(some may be skewed by the presence of certain facilities in some cities and aren't included) census tracts of smaller cities with the highest Black percentage: Census Tract 022500 in Oneida County, New York

Census Tract 061200 in Jefferson County, New York

Census Tract 041800 in Cayuga County, New York

Census Tract 030300 in Chautauqua County, New York

I'll add more later and census block groups within these and maybe even other residential areas of these cities may have higher percentages than these census tracts.

More "cities" and for smaller cities, looking at the census block group level will probably garner the highest concentration/higher percentage: Census Tract 012800 in Albany County, New York
