CHICAGO (June 5, 2023) – According to the Chicago Urban League (Chicago, IL), there is a lot of work to be done in Chicago.

The report highlights how the city has lost about 85,000 Black residents over the last ten plus years. Most moved to suburbs for better housing, better education, and safety concerns.
With so many leaving the city, issues remain for the residents who remain.
Black residents of Chicago are doing worse than their white counterparts in areas such as household income, home ownership, and health.
