i'd imagine that some of that loss will also be white deaths > white births, so it's not 100% people moving out of the metro area altogether.

but yes, no matter how you slice it, a shit-ton of white people left chicagoland (not exactly a revelation, but still interesting to see the actual numbers in the data).

it's interesting how black-flight is THE demographic challenge of the city proper (with all other groups in the city growing), but at the metro level, it's really white people who are the problem.

white people are always the fucking problem
