Happy beautiful women meeting indoors and having fun

Uh-oh, looks like North Carolina is topping the lists yet again. As we continue through 2024 we want to see great things for all people. We have seen tons of lists come up about the best cities for vacation, the best cities for shopping, and so much more! Black Health Matters is gathering up some of the most important lists for us.

One of which is the newest list of the best cities for Black women in America. In this new year, many Americans are looking to start up new habits. Whether that is looking for new eating habits, giving up bad habits, or starting over in a brand new city. If you are one of those people interested in moving, then you may be doing some research to see what cities may be best for you. Well, as a black woman, this list I found quite intriguing. Black Health Matters gathered the top 10 cities in America that are great for black women. The cities on this list made the top as they are the best for black women’s mental health, financial abilities, health conditions, and equal educational opportunities.

So, what cities made this list? Surprisingly, multiple North Carolina cities came up in the top 10. Not only were they in the top 10, but one city in particular also came in at #1. That’s right, North Carolina is home to the #1 city in America for black women. Coming in at #10 is Charlotte, North Carolina. Next up, is Raleigh, North Carolina coming in at #6. Finally, the TOP city in the U.S. for black women is Greensboro, North Carolina at the #1 city for black women.
