Whites, Hispanics and Asians numbers all went up. Black people the only group that decreased.
Whites are moving further into the West and Southsides due to the North being expensive or just less supply of the homes they want. You can get a beautiful brownstone for a great price if you are open to living outside of the "hot and hip" areas.
Hispanics have been moving further into the southside in areas like Englewood while the Black residents are leaving in droves. They got communities on the West side as well.
Asians have been moving further into the Bronzeville area that is a historically southside Black neighborhood.
Once Black people leave the city, it's gonna be damn near impossible to get back in and I'm not even talking about housing prices. I'm talking politically, the lower the Black population gets - the more ground other races gain. Forget about seeing a Black mayor ever again if the population keeps dropping.
Chicago’s power struggle shows what’s at stake when a city loses its Black population. And they’re not alone: Nine of 10 of the cities with the largest Black populations are on the verge of the same exodus.
