| Description | Experts from the Urban Institute predict that by 2030, Chicago’s African-American population will shrink to 665,000 from a post-war high of roughly 1.2 million. This movement, which some demographers have labeled “black flight,” or a “reverse Great Migration,” is reshaping neighborhoods like the one where Loury grew up.
This is a shift happening everywhere, says Loury, especially northern cities such as Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis, and Detroit. It’s even impacting Sunbelt metros such as Atlanta, which is seeing a huge boom in African-American migration, but mostly in the surrounding suburbs. |
