    I’ve lived in northern Virginia since 1994 and absolutely love living in Dumfries, VA. I’m so proud to see we made the list. We are an area full of young and established black families. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

      I am from Northern Virginia and kniw Dumfrues and those area that used to be called “the country” and many people there are Military or Government employees. Also, have advanced degrees and do very well for themselves. I’m NEVER surprised when Northern Virginian cities are celebrated, but what about people without professional jobs? Simple put many black folks can’t afford the cost of living required. Someone else posted about security and safety in the cities. 🤷🏽‍♀️

      Rather there than being in some big city that's full of noises 24/7, crowded on streets, transportations and skyscrapers and projects crowded in almost every area. Small Town sound safer and more awaken. Last year an article was out about how government trying to encouraged more people to move to big cities. Last time checked, people with common sense already know to do the opposite what they say!!

    And also I can’t help noticing that with the exception of CA and TX all of these cities are along the east coast. I’ve heard horror stories about how bad the racism is in the Midwest for Black people and Brown & Asian people… but I’m curious are there safe communities for Black folk?

    Thank you for your list but I would be careful about Bowie and Waldorf, MD. I lived in Waldorf for a few years and in Temple Hills, MD for 15 years. All three cities are in Prince George’s County. Moved to Alexandria VA 7 years ago basically having to flee PG County because of the crime and low-rated schools. Bowie still has an active KKK chapter and the traffic getting out to either city is gridlocked 24/7 down Branch Ave/Rt. 301 or the awful Rt. 210/Indian Head Highway. There are simply too many people living in Waldorf and Bowie and not enough infrastructure to support all of them moving there. Bowie still has a nice amount of homes with land and a few small farms and a lot of parks. It is also an easy drive to Annapolis to experience Marylands famous crab cakes. Never move to Temple Hills. Shootings, break-ins, worst schools, the list goes on and on.

    If you are black in America, stick together, and stay on code where race relations are concerned it doesn't matter where you live. A united group of blacks is formidable and something to behold. If you aren't united forget it. Not disparaging these places but this is a society that doesn't want you in it on any kind of terms of equality. On terms of subordination it will accept you but forget terms of equality. Black octogenarian widower here, in less than two years a nonagenarian.

    Glad to find this page. As someone affected by return to work which is causing me to move 1/2 way across the country instead of returning to my office, it was good to hear of some of the communities around Atlanta. I do not know anything about Georgia and have only been once now that I am forced to move there. I definitiely will look into the neighborhood suggested in this video. Thanks for a comprehesive list of cities.

    I’m doing research because I grew up in the inner city and I’m tired of living in the chaos and I want a slower life my partner is black and we are planning a family, he’s expressed concerns of safety in our current state based on past events, of course I would never ignore his concerns however I want to meet him in a happy medium. Thank you for posting this video! This information is very helpful

    Rolesville is nice but not as affordable as it used to be. It has quickly become a suburban town that is quickly growing and less accessible in terms of prices. I have family out there and the houses are quickly growing in price.

    I currently live 20 minutes from Bowie, about 45 minutes from Waldorf, was raised in LI about 15 mins from Uniondale and I’ve lived in 7 states on the east coast so I’m familiar with several cities in this list. With that said, I would hardly consider the majority of these “small towns”. This is very misleading. If you meant by population, that’s different but several of these are very densely crowded suburbs in metropolitan areas. I was actually looking for “small towns” so you may want to reconsider the labeling of this video or define your definition of “small towns”.

    You left Yellow Springs Ohio off the list!! Great location near columbus, cincinnati, dayton and wright patterson afb. But a small town very progressive and friendly. Lots of upper education with Antioch college( corretta scott king went), located near central state, Wilberforce, and wright state univ. Home of Dave Chapelle.
