LA has some housing projects, such as Imperial Courts, in Watts, that are likely very low income, and were (and are still, to an extent) heavily African American.
But it's probably true that LA didn't have the same concentrations of AA poverty, because it didn't really have tenement neighborhoods, or, later, towering housing projects. The AA neighborhoods tend to be SFH, and SFH buyers are usually at least moderate income. The Bronx and Eastern Brooklyn are mostly large apartment blocks, subsidized housing and tenements, so will have high density concentrations of low income renter households. Brownsville was a poor Jewish neighborhood before it was a poor black neighborhood. |

Generally speaking I believe it is the case that the West Coast never developed the same hyperblack blighted neighborhoods that the Northeast/Midwest did. Though it helped a lot that Latinos (and Asians) have never really been averse to living in the same neighborhoods as black people. |

^ Robert Taylor, built in the heart of the southside's black belt ghetto, was never intended for white middle class families.
the sad irony of its name was that it was named for the first black board member of the CHA who eventually resigned from his position in protest to chicago's city council rejecting his calls to more widely distribute public housing throughout the entire city specifically to induce more racially mixed public housing. instead we got the nation's largest public housing tower complex that stretched for 2 over miles along the dan ryan expressway, and at its "height" housed some 27,000 people, over 95% of whom were black and over 95% of households had no income beyond basic public aid. it did not go well. |
Looking at school data for Watts, basically 100% of kids qualify for free lunch, so the neighborhood is definitely low income.
The elementary school racial mix appears to be about 70-30 Hispanic-Black. So there's still a black population. The elementaries were majority black until about 2000. I bet you the senior centers still have mostly black clientele. But looking around the retail corridors, this is a Mexican-American neighborhood now. A lot easier to get tacos than soul food. I still see a ton of black churches, however. Churches are probably the last thing to go for legacy populations. |

Cabrini Green was mostly white, which makes sense, as it was a white neighborhood. Taylor was built in a black ghetto, so was black from the start.
It was common that cities built projects for blacks in black neighborhoods and projects for whites in white neighborhoods. In Detroit, Brewster Houses were black (made sense as built in Black Bottom) and Jeffries Houses were white until the late 1960's, when the neighborhood started changing. |

While they're not high rises, there is a pretty significant cluster of public housing in that southeast corner of where the 110 and 105 freeways meet. These areas are still very poor. The wealthier Black neighborhoods are to the west-- Ladera Heights, Leimert Park, Baldwin Hills, etc. The 'Black Belt' of LA is basically south of DTLA/USC, between the 405 and 110, all the way down to Long Beach. Picking up other cities like Gardena, Inglewood, Compton, and Hawthorne. |

In some areas of the country (like South Boston) public housing remained pretty much white through to the modern era. |
