absolute white population loss for top 19 cities by 1940 population between 1940 and 1990 was 12 million
@Steve_Sailer -
only such city that did not lose white population was Los Angeles, whose population more than tripled. no absolute change.
@Steve_Sailer -
(while dropping from almost 90% to less than 40% of the total population)
@Steve_Sailer -
3 cities lost more than a million whites: NYC (3.7M), Chicago (2M), and Detroit (1.2M)
@Steve_Sailer -
had to exclude Indianapolis (20th largest in 1940) bc no data for 1940. probably grew a little, tho declined since 1970.
@Steve_Sailer -
white exodus of 12 million is roughly double the 6 million in Great Migration, so prog ROI was quite good.
@Steve_Sailer -
some of this overlaps with rust belt population loss, though (e.g., Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland all lost > 300k)

And now just as the city centers are finally livable, we're back to the old ways and a new wave of refugees is coming.

I'd say almost everyone who moved from the cities to the suburbs since 1965, but that's likely an overestimate.
