Hopefully, at some point, the growing influx of younger, higher-income black residents will make up for the slowing loss of older, lower-income black residents. It's probably too early to say it is already happening.
Black population in Chicago according to Census:
1980 - 1.188 million
1990 - 1.074 million (loss of 114k)
2000 - 1.054 million (loss of 20k)
2010 - 0.872 million (loss of 182k)
2020 - 0.802 million (loss of 70k)
