The overrepresentation of the highly skilled can be seen in the relatively high share of Black African immigrants with at least a four-year college degree. In 2007, 27 percent of the U.S. population aged 25 and older had a four-year degree or more; 10% had a master's, doctorate, or professional degree. Immigrants from several Anglophone African countries were among the best educated: a majority of Black Immigrants from Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe had at least a four-year degree. Immigrants from Egypt, where the official language is Arabic, were also among the best educated.<ref name=BlackAfricanMigration2/> The overrepresentation of the highly skilled among U.S. immigrants is particularly striking for several of
Africa's largest source countries. The United States was the destination for 59% of Nigeria's highly skilled immigrants along with 47% of those from Ghana and 29% from Kenya.<ref name=BlackAfricanMigration2/>

The average annual personal income of African immigrants is about $26,000, nearly $2,000 more than that of workers born in the U.S. This might be because 71% of the Africans 16 years and older are working, compared to 64% of Americans. This is believed to be due larger percentage of African immigrants have higher educational qualifications than Americans, which results in higher per capita incomes for African immigrants and Americans born to African immigrants.<ref name=AfricanImmigrantSuccess4/>

Outside of educational success, specific groups have found economic success and have made many contributions to American society. For example, recent statistics indicate that [[Ugandan American]]s have become one of the country's biggest contributors to the economy, their contribution, amounting to US$1 billion in annual remittances which are disproportionately large contributions despite a community and population of less than 13,000.<ref>{{cite news|author=Olivia Miller|date=November 26, 2008|url=http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Sr-Z/Ugandan-Americans.html|title=Everyculture:A Countries and Their Cultures: Ugandan Americans|publisher= Everyculture: Countries and their cultures|access-date= May 25, 2010 <!--to 23:00-->}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Total ancestry categories tallied for people with one or more ancestry categories reported 2010 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates|url=http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_10_1YR_B04003&prodType=table|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150118121537/http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_10_1YR_B04003&prodType=table|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 January 2015|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=30 November 2012}}</ref> African immigrants like many other immigrant groups are likely to establish and find success in small businesses. Many Africans that have seen the social and economic stability that comes from [[ethnic enclaves]] such as [[Chinatowns]] have recently been establishing ethnic enclaves of their own at much higher rates to reap the benefits of such communities.<ref>{{cite web|title=African immigrants hope for a Chicago community of their own|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2013/01/14/african-immigrants-hope-for-a-chicago-community-of-their-own/|access-date=14 July 2013 | work=Chicago Tribune|date=14 January 2013}}</ref> Examples of such ethnic enclaves include [[Little Ethiopia, Los Angeles|Little Ethiopia]] in Los Angeles and [[Le Petit Senegal]] in New York City.

Demographically, African Immigrants and Americans born of African immigrants tend to typically congregate in [[urban area]]s, moving to [[suburban area]]s over the next few generations as they try to acquire economic and social stability. They are also one of America's least likely groups to live in [[Racial segregation|racially segregated]] areas.<ref>[http://mumford1.dyndns.org/cen2000/BlackWhite/BlackDiversityReport/black-diversity07.htm]{{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120321002325/http://mumford1.dyndns.org/cen2000/BlackWhite/BlackDiversityReport/black-diversity07.htm|date=March 21, 2012}}</ref> African Immigrants and Americans born of African immigrants have been reported as having some of the lowest crime rates in the United States and being one of the unlikeliest groups to go into or commit crime. African immigrants have even been reported to have lowered crime rates in neighborhoods in which they have moved into.<ref>{{cite web|title=Immigration Reduces Crime Rates|date=18 March 2008|url=http://www.livescience.com/4872-immigration-reduces-crime-rates.html|publisher=Livescience.com|access-date=14 July 2013}}</ref>

Black immigrants from Black majority countries are, upon their arrival, revealed to be much healthier than Black people from countries that are not majority Black and where they constitute a minority. Thus, African immigrants are, after arriving, often much healthier than American-born Black people and Black immigrants from Europe, though there is some evidence that as they settle, their health declines to the levels of their native counterparts, suggesting racial discrimination may be a factor in poor health for these communities.<ref>{{cite web|title=Black immigrants from Africa arrive healthier than those from Europe, suggesting racial discrimination harms health|url=http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/7446|publisher=Universityofcalifornia.edu|access-date=15 July 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130420000605/http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/7446|archive-date=20 April 2013}}</ref>
