Analysis: The best data shows neighboring Charles County has become majority-Black in recent years, and incomes there are much higher than in Prince George's County.
Today we’re introducing a new weekly column dedicated to exploring the wondrous and often underappreciated data that defines our world. At the Department of Data, fun facts are serious business.
Once confined to Prince George’s County by a combination of discrimination and other factors, high-income Black Americans now have other options. And they’re spreading out. Not all of those people would identify as Black. But a strict “Black alone” metric excludes such people as former president Barack Obama and Vice President Harris, who have publiclydespite having only one Black parent. In other words, “Black alone” numbers probably undercount the Black population, though putting a precise number on the undercount would be impossible.
A few years ago, the District flirted briefly with becoming the wealthiest majority-Black jurisdiction in the nation. But when incomes in D.C. soared, the Black population fell. Longtime residents were displaced by diverse and well-heeled newcomers. By the time incomes in D.C. overtook incomes in Prince George’s, Black folks were no longer the majority in “Chocolate City.
The number of Black households earning $200,000 or more a year in Charles County quadrupled between 2009 and 2020, according to a Washington Post analysis of ACS data. It was by far the fastest-growing group of Black earners in the county over that time. As with Prince George’s, county incomes in Charles rose as the Black population expanded.
Your money goes further than in Whiter counties such as Montgomery, and you can spread out on a few acres and still be just a few minutes from the supermarket.
