White Flight - Suburbs losing Young Whites to Cities
Interesting article from the Huffinton Post Suburbs Losing Young Whites To Cities, Brookings Institution Finds. For the first time "a majority of all racial and ethnic groups in large metro areas live outside the city. Suburban Asians and Hispanics already had topped 50 percent in 2000, and blacks joined them by 2008, rising from 43 percent in those eight years."
On the flip side, in the urban centres of cities, such as Washington and Atlanta, have seen the highest percentage increase of white residents since 2000.
It seems that there is a great shift in the mindset of American people who make money, where the stats show are white. They are demanding more quality of life living in areas with many things to do over spending time commuting.
Definite shift in demands, space vs time. What happened to this whole Penturbia movement Harry Dent was predicting?
