This means that while the rate of increase in black college educated people in Chicago is higher than any other city, the suburbs are outperforming still.
Things going in some crazy directions!

Crain's has had 5-10 articles on this over the last 6 or 12 months. It wasn't just in one or two articles - as the guy who provided most of the data for them anonymously, trust me. There is some other stuff in the link you posted for sure, but a lot of the other stuff has been in Crains articles spread about.
The rate of increase of black college educated people is faster than a lot of cities but I believe a few smaller ones had a higher percentage. The suburbs are outperforming the city but both are doing OK in this regard. The suburbs had an increase of over 25,000 college educated people in this group from 2010 to 2016 (27.3% increase) while the city had just under +15,000 (15% increase). The suburbs raise the percentage from 21% to 24.6% while the city raised the percentage from 17.8% to 21.3% - both were around 3.5% raise in overall percentage.
