The census and 5 years estimates shows the picture very differently. 9,572 was the total population in 1990. The 2014 estimates are 4,568. The black population living in the neighborhood declined 65%, white population declined 33%.
3CDC and Cincinnati are creating a vibrant neighborhood for affluent whites. Just recently has the population started to increase for the white population. As the whole the neighborhood is declining in population and becoming much more affluent and much less dense.
Graph with population numbers. http://infogr.am/o65l3dVQjEXPYKWO
" From 2010 to 2014 it went from about 60 percent black to two-thirds white, while the still-undeveloped section north of Liberty Street has remained over 80 percent African-American."
Is the neighborhood becoming more white because white people are moving there? Or because black people are leaving? It sounds like the population dropped dramatically with the crime.
If it's because there were 4000 blacks and 1000 whites and now there are 4000 blacks and 4000 whites, that doesn't sound like a problem to me.
