Is Richmond more black or white depends on which Richmond you refer to, as demographics differ greatly between Richmond, Virginia, Richmond, London, and Richmond, British Columbia. For Richmond, Virginia, capital of Virginia, USA, population about 230,000 in city proper, demographics as of 2020 census show about 45 percent White, 40 percent Black, 7 percent Hispanic, and rest Asian and other, making it slightly more White than Black currently, though historically it was more Black, with 2010 census showing about 50 percent Black and 40 percent White, with shift due to gentrification, young White professionals moving into areas like Church Hill, Manchester, and Scott's Addition, raising White share. So Richmond VA is now slightly more White than Black, but nearly equal with diverse mix. For Richmond upon Thames, London, UK, borough population about 200,000, demographics show about 80 percent White British and White Other, about 10 percent Asian, and only about 2 to 3 percent Black, so much more White than Black, affluent and less diverse. For Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, suburb of Vancouver, population 210,000, demographics show about 70 percent Asian, mostly Chinese, 25 percent White, and very small Black population under 1 percent, so more Asian than White or Black. So answer for Richmond VA is slightly more White than Black as of 2020 but nearly equal.

Is Richmond more black or white depends on which Richmond, with Richmond, Virginia having nearly equal but slightly more Black than White historically, now more White, and Richmond, London being mostly White. Richmond, Virginia, capital of Virginia, USA, historically had large Black population, with demographics shifting, with 2020 census showing about 40 percent Black, 45 percent White, 10 percent Hispanic, and rest Asian and other, making it slightly more White than Black as of 2020, though historically in 2010 it was about 50 percent Black and 40 percent White, with White population growing due to gentrification in areas like Church Hill and Manchester, with Black population decreasing slightly due to rising housing costs, with city being diverse with nearly equal Black and White, but slightly more White now. Richmond upon Thames, London, UK, borough population about 200,000, is about 80 percent White, 10 percent Asian, and small Black population about 2 to 3 percent, so more White than Black, affluent and less diverse than London average. Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, is about 70 percent Asian, 25 percent White, and small Black population, so more Asian than White or Black. So for Richmond VA, more White than Black now at 45 percent White vs 40 percent Black, though historically more Black, for Richmond London more White, 80 percent White, and for Richmond BC more Asian.
