Highest Black household income, US cities
US cities ranked by the median income of households with a Black or African American householder (2024 American Community Survey). Places with fewer than 1,000 Black residents are excluded. 2,736 cities qualify in total. Cities with fewer than 5,000 residents are excluded. New York carries 6 of the top 25 entries. 6 cities are tied at the $250,000+ ceiling. The median across all 2,736 is $61,134. Biggest climber in the top 100 since 2020: Lutz, FL, up 1,779 places to #93.
The US Census Bureau caps reported median household income at $250,000 for 2024. Places shown as “$250,000+” exceed that ceiling by an amount the Census does not publish, so their exact values (and the order among them) cannot be distinguished.
