Are there many MSAs that grew by 20% despite losing Black population, where the principle city grew by 25% despite also losing Black population, with a large white population increase in both metro and city, but the diversity index increased by 3 or more points?
Someone mentioned that they care only about the rate of growth. How large does the population of a place have to be for the rate of growth to be exciting or at least interesting?
Someone else said something to the effect that population gain is just a number until you find out the demographics behind the number; that is, what are the new education and income levels, etc., of the place after those numbers come in?
In my city/metro’s case (Charleston, S.C.), besides the fact that for the last decade we have been named the #1 travel destination in the nation by readers of both Travel & Leisure and Condé Nast magazines - and my Uber-driver neighbor told me that by far the most common thing her out-of-town passengers say to her is that they want to move here - Wallet Hub just named us #2 behind Orlando on their list of the best places to retire, and LinkedIn just named us #2 on their list of “larger metros” where remote workers are choosing to live.
So, it seems to me that when the rest of the demographic information is in, Charleston stands to have some additional data to show off. Now if we can just get a little more traction in non South Carolina CD threads.
I am not sure why the first part of your post is paired with the second part of your post. Are you saying that Charleston grew and lost black population, or are these two things not related to each other?
In 2010, The New York Times and Washington Post published interactive maps showing increase and decrease of population by race for the different census tracts. Does anyone know if they’ll be able to do that this year with the changes to how the data was released due to privacy concerns?
they didnt do a 2020 ACS survey, they haven't updated censusreporter or quickfacts. Safe to say don't expect any interesting information until at least December if not June 2022.
They're underselling how badly the pandemic affected the Census- they have to be.

Houston Chronicle has something similar for the 2020 census for the U.S but it requires a subscription.
How do you mean? California is #1 in Hispanic, White, Native American, Asian, multiracial, and Other race populations, #2 in Pacific Islander populations, and #5 in Black population, which is to be expected since it's #1 in overall population. Also, its 2020 Census diversity index is higher than Texas, though Texas is not far behind. Both are extremely racially-diverse states but using the national ranking of a state's raw population numbers to assess the well-roundedness of a state's racial demographics doesn't make much sense.
