^ Broken down like that, that’s phenomenal. Somebody once said that Chicago is a sunbelt city inside of a rustbelt city, and the numbers really show that.
What I wonder is how Chicago’s population growth would have looked if the black population had remained unchanged from 2010-2020? Would it have matched New York City’s growth rate?
