I think in the Times a couple months ago I was reading how the Black population was actually increasing in the fringes of Brooklyn (Canarsie, Flatlands), as areas like Ft. Greene and Clinton Hill gentrified. Probably not enough to make up for the lost population, but definitely interesting to observe.
