Migration shifts as Black population surges in Fort Worth and other smaller cities
The 2020 census shows Fort Worth, Columbus, Jacksonville, and Charlotte gaining 32 000 to 40 000 Black residents, while New York, Los Angeles and Chicago lose Black residents. Brandon Manning moved to Fort Worth to teach at Texas Christian University, citing traffic and cost as reasons to relocate. Columbus stands out as not in the South, reflecting a broader reverse migration trend toward smaller southern cities.
