I understand what you mean but look at raw numbers. That's basically the entire Buffalo urbanized area, almost a million people.
When an urbanized area is
huge by North American standards, 12M+, even 10% is 1.2M a good sized city
In 1970, the city of LA was ~18% Black, in 1990 14% Black (meteoric rise of hip hop, movies, culture), while in 2020 the Black population 8.3%, while Hispanic population increased to ~47% and Asian population to just under 12%
