Detroit`s blacks leave city for suburbs

UPI reports:
For the first time, Detroit`s urban black population fell 10 percent from 2000 to 2005, showing a trend of moving to the suburbs, the Detroit News reports.

U.S. Census Bureau figures released Tuesday show some 75,000 blacks moved out of the urban core. The report said about 22 percent of blacks lived in Detroit suburbs in 2000, but that has grown to an estimated 32 percent by 2005.
