if they were to do a study on this topic, how would you define "hood"?
Are Most Black People In or From the Hood? More or Less than Half?

I think at this point in time, the black middle class has grown to make up the majority. I have no data to back that up, but "middle class" in general is bigger and just treading above poverty level as it is.

To be honest I don't even know how you would describe hood aside from impoverished area.
I'm looking at that map @AckDaQuick posted, and it seems like most Blacks definitely don't live in the hood.

Lived in the hood from ages 8-14.
Pioneer CIty in Severn, MD. Maryland City in Laurel, MD. Those places suck, but it was fun bein a kid there. I was lucky I had a family that put it in my head as a child that college was not an option but just what you're supposed to do, and I moved to the burbs right before the hood had a chance to take me under.

If you had the freedom that I have you'll feel like a slave after the emancipation proclamation.

The main thing I'm trying to get at is this is a dumb question cuz u can't lump ppl and all places in the hood category ...if I remember you the same dude from pg that's scared to walk around Baltimore...you said being round Hopkins is terrible so Laurel n Severn damn sure ain't no hood compared to that so that would answer your original question that no not all black ppl live in the hoodWell we know damn sure that OP ain't from the hood

the proper definition of hood is just a short version of neighborhood, and most people live in neighborhoods
depending how you define the street slang version of "hood", your answer could either yes or no. so the answer is more in how you define the term than where most black people live
