African American neighborhoods or black communities are types of ethnic enclaves found in many cities throughout the United States. Wealthy African American homeowners have gravitated to these affluent neighborhoods in pursuit of lower crime rates, better schools and Black American neighbors who share their socioeconomic demographics. Today, we will have zoom in on *Virginia*… and take a look at communities and zip codes that have populations of at least 30 percent African American *and* that have a median household income greater than $50,000. Also bear in mind that cities contain multiple zip codes and zip codes can span over multiple cities or even counties. Nonetheless, our data analytics have pointed us to these impressive Virginia neighborhoods and zip codes where African Americans are succeeding in terms of income, homeownership, and academic achievement. Other important indicators that our researchers factored in include cost of living, economic equality, and livability. We want to go ahead and admit that Chesapeake Virginia made a few appearances on our list, but we had to follow the data, the criteria, and the parameters that we were working within.
