As Chicago’s black population plunges, whites flock to near downtown

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

The city’s overall black population has plunged since 2000. At the start of this century it was just over 1 million. Fifteen years later it was 840,188.

The white population also decreased in that time period, though not nearly as dramatically, falling from 907,166 to 874,876.
