Where did the 110,000 whites go?There is a change in city/suburban demographic trends by race. From Census 2010 to July 2018, according to Census Bureau estimates, the
city's substantial African-American population declined by 14 percent while the city's rather small non-Hispanic white population grew by 31 percent.
In the three county suburban ring, the white population fell by 5% while
the African American population grew by 16%.
The African American population of the ring grew by 57,000 while the
city's African American population fell by 83,000. For whites, there
was a growth of 17,000 in the city of Detroit and a decline of 127,000 in the ring.
Racial attitudes have change and there is a substantial movement of African-Americans from the city to the suburbs. For the most part, the
patterns of extreme white black residential segregation that once
characterized Detroit are not being repeated in the suburbs,
