Chicago’s population fell by more than 200,000 to 2,695,598 people over the course of the last decade, due in large part to an outflux of African-American residents, according to new Census data trickling out through Crain’s.
At the same time, the population of the metropolitan area as a whole grew by about 210,000 people, with major growth in Kane and Will counties helping to offset a decline in Cook County.
Crain’s will have more details and links to official tables in the coming hours.
