Bloomfield absorbed the flight of the black middle class, the college-educated group working in fairly low-level jobs.
You can get a decent house in Bloomfield for $250K, which would be affordable to a two-income couple making $80-100K or so, say a nurse and a police officer.
Bloomfield is not a slum, the houses are generally well-maintained.
Thanks. I’d imagine it being like Willingboro (formerly Levittown), NJ in terms of the sociocultural environment and racial balance.
