In those 10 IL counties..
White population change: -350,707
Other population change: +150,660
Even if literally every single person part of the "other" group was part of these counties previously and previously identified as white, it wouldn't even come close to telling the story. Certain it can tell a little bit but case in point, there's an absolute minimum of a few hundred thousand white people who just entirely left the metro area.
