Looks like the black population is slowing down its losses. Hopefully it will stabilize by the next census, and even begin growing after that.
While we are seeing less Mexican/Central & South American immigration in the metro (which I believe is really the story for the US as a whole), it appears its may be getting offset by more Asian immigration/relocation? Does anyone have any numbers on last decade's Asian numbers vs this decade's?
Yes please!

Regarding immigration and what not, how do you figure? Hispanic growth in these 10 counties was over 256,000. That was the largest group and 105,000 more than the next highest ones (Asian and Other each had 150K growth).
