It’s also as West Indian/African as AfAmerican and the AfAmerican population has been considerably filtered by gentrification and earlier waves of mass incarceration/displacement.
"largest black population" - in absolute numbers, which is irrelevant NYC has roughly as many black ppl per capita as Houston TX, Boston MA. Manhattan has roughly as many as Oklahoma City or Bowling Green, KYhttps://twitter.com/radleybalko/status/946442908319862785 …

It may also be that once you’re below a certain level of violence (and can afford to hire fewer stupid or corrupt cops) you can get higher closure rates on homicides, which creates a virtuous circle for street crime Or NYC is just lying about what they’re doing,seems likely too.
