Minority groups in the metropolitan Chicago housing market: 1970–2015
研究1970至2015年芝加哥都会区住房市场中非裔、西裔和亚裔三大少数族裔的分布变化，发现西裔和亚裔人口快速增长，非裔人口自2000年下降，郊区少数族裔增多而市中心传统非裔区人口锐减，但贫困集中区仍存。
This paper examines the housing market of metropolitan Chicago from 1970 to 2015, with particular attention on the three largest minority groups – African Americans, Hispanics and Asians. The Hispanic and Asian populations of the metropolitan area have grown rapidly, while the African-American population has actually declined since 2000. Metro Chicago has a much larger Hispanic population than is typical for major northern metro areas in the USA. Suburban growth coupled with population decline in the central city has produced large minority populations in the suburbs along with sharp declines in the traditional African-American areas of the central city. African-American areas of concentrated poverty remain. Sizable mostly white population growth has occurred in and near the downtown area as most of the nearby public housing has been demolished.
