Trump wrong for the eleven billionth time: Most blacks do not live in cities or in poverty

Statistically they’re more likely. About 3Xs more likely according to Cypress.
The article in the OP is 8 years old.

I believe Latinos live in urban areas at a higher percentage than black people do.

This is from 2022 about black people leaving cities for the suburbs.

 
New York city had the largest number of people reporting as Black with about 2.3 million, followed by Chicago, 1.1 million, and Detroit, Philadelphia and Houston

In 2022, 28.7% of Black Chicagoans lived in poverty, which is almost three times the poverty rate for white Chicagoans at 10.3%

Over 26% of Black people in Detroit are below the poverty line, which is more than 13 percentage points higher than the national rate.

In Philadelphia, the poverty rate for Black people is higher than the national average at 30%
Why are you only citing three cities, rather than citing the national statistics for all Black Americans, which is what the OP is referring to.

I could cherry pick a few rural counties in the south or Appalachia to inflate the perception of poor white poverty, if I had an agenda to deceive and misinform.
