Much of rural Alabama, especially through the central and southwestern parts of the state are majority black with most local governments and social institutions dominated by the local majority population. The real big problems in those areas are poverty and medical care. Even if you're well off, living in an impoverished community does negatively impact your quality of life. And you really don't want to have a medical emergency out there. The medical facilities can be few and far between with middling quality.
