Chicago population sinks to 1920's levels
The economy seems to be the culprit. And a "reverse migration" from Chicago to the South is reducing my home town's population of African-Americans.
As somebody who wishes it were economically possible for me to move back to Chicago, I see a certain amount of irony in this- and sorrow at the plight of the city I love.
Still, Chicago seems likely to remain the nation's third-largest city, ahead of Houston.
It ought to be number two again- if not number one.
