Segment Profile

Black Gentry neighborhoods are predominantly Black urban communities with broadly middle-market household finances and meaningful homeownership. Non-family households are especially uncommon, giving the segment a more traditional household profile than many urban segments. White-collar employment leads the occupational mix, and educational attainment is stronger than in the other Black Gateway segments. This is the most economically established profile within the category.
