White flight. Fleeing humongous tax increases as well.

The exodus took a big chunk out of the city's black population in particular, shrinking it to 887,608 from 1,065,009, ...

That's almost a 17% decrease in the black population, much greater than the 7% decrease in overall population. So if the whites are fleeing, the blacks are way out in front of them! I can't pretend to understand these statistics, but it is certainly not "white flight" as it was understood in the 1960's.

Almost all of the people who left were black.

They refer to a decrease in the black population, but don’t attribute it to one of real leading causes: abortion. All US cities are evolving into Latino reservations with a “black section”.
