Black middle class shifts to suburbs amid urban flight
The piece notes a growing migration of black middle-class families from major cities to suburbs driven by crime and schooling concerns.

Officials cite Washington, Detroit, Chicago and other cities where black flight accelerates, while some argue it reflects broader urban financial strain and desegregation trends.
