The Top Ten Cities For African Americans

Atlanta, Georgia, ranks as the No. 1 city for African Americans, driven primarily by entrepreneurial opportunities, earnings potential, and cultural activities. Future job growth is strong at 23%, and Atlanta is home to a high number of black-owned businesses.

African Americans make up 61% of Atlanta’s population.

Clawing its way up another spot to number four this year, Atlanta is steadily making its mark as one of the best cities for young adults. Affordable housing, a solid job market, expanding neighborhoods and a great range of exciting activities all contribute to Atlanta's success. The area "inside the 285 beltway" is made up of three major neighborhoods: Buckhead, Midtown and Virginia Highlands. Buckhead has gradually shaped itself to cater to the more affluent, trendy crowd, with many young professionals patronizing bars such as the recently opened East Andrews. You'll find hip singles in the many coffee houses and cafes of mid-town. For those seeking the laid back, collegiate feel, Virginia Highlands is packed with local bars and outdoor pubs. Emerging areas include Marietta, Brookhaven and the Vinings. If you're not looking for the typical bar scene, Atlanta boasts a bustling art scene and is host to lively outdoor activities. Museums host weekly cocktail parties and the Botanical Gardens features frequent art exhibits specially catered for singles
