Chicago Latinos choosing suburbs over city

The Chicago Tribune reports:
For the first time, more Latinos live in Chicago's suburbs than in the city, a milestone for the area's fastest-growing ethnic group with broad implications for the region, a new study says.

From 2000 to 2004, the number of Latinos in the suburbs increased by a third, to 862,000. But after decades of growth, the population in Chicago dropped 1 percent, to 746,000, according to the University of Notre Dame study to be released Tuesday.
You can bet that Chicago's losing population.
