Blacks return to Southern roots

USA Today reports:

The 2010 Census shows that 57% of the USA's blacks live in the South, the highest percentage since 60% in 1960, says William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution. "They are going to the new Sun Belt cities, economically viable places," he says. "The main states are Florida, Georgia, Texas and North Carolina and the prosperous metropolitan areas, especially the suburbs, within those states."
They're often moving to communities that have not traditionally attracted black people. Within the South, counties with smaller black populations had high rates of black growth, Frey says. The counties with the fastest rates of African-American growth during the past decade were those where blacks previously made up 10% or less of the population.
