not migrate with the masses...
Cities younger and more diverse.
Suburbs are very mixed - old whites and/vs wealthier ethinics
But, we ARE a nation in flux..., still.
And, with this massive change in population...
comes change in our economic, business, political, religious, educational, & leisure activities.
"What they used to do here, they don't anymore.
What the new kids on the block want, isn't available to them, yet."
As Dylan sang to U.S...: "The times they are a'chang'n..."

Social changes shatter regional stereotypes, study finds
Social changes in the past decade, especially the increase in racial and ethnic minorities are scrambling regional stereotypes and altering the traditional portrait of the nation.

New groupings for nation
New groupings for nation
Metropolitan areas
"Next Frontier" areas exceed national averages on population growth, diversity and educational attainment. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue is included in this category, along with Albuquerque, N.M., and Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas.
"New Heartland" areas are fast growing, highly educated locales, but have lower shares of Hispanic and Asian populations than the national average. Atlanta and Portland, Ore.-Vancouver, Wash., are included in this category.
"Diverse Giant" areas are some of the largest metro areas in the country. They have above-average educational attainment and diversity, but below-average population growth, owing in part to their size. Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill., and San Diego are included in this category.
"Border Growth" areas are mostly in Southwestern border states and, as such, are marked by a significant and growing presence of Mexican and other Latin American immigrants. El Paso, Texas, and Modesto, Calif., and Orlando, Fla., are included in this category.
"Mid-Sized Magnet" areas are similar in their recent growth and educational profile to Border Growth centers, but are distinguished by lower shares of Hispanic and Asian minorities. Baton Rouge, La., and Oklahoma City are included in this category.
"Skilled Anchor" areas are slow-growing, less diverse metro areas that boast higher-than-average levels of educational attainment. Akron, Ohio, and Milwaukee are included in this category.
"Industrial Core" areas are slower-growing, less diverse and less educated than national averages and significantly older than the large metropolitan average. Dayton, Ohio, and Tulsa, Okla., are included in this category.

In Arizona, which adopted a tough law last month giving the police broad discretion to question people about their immigration status, whites account for 83 percent of the population older than 65, but only 43 percent of those 18 and younger.
That gap is greatest in Arizona..., but California, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas are not far behind.

Columns can be sorted by clicking on them. A 2010 Brookings Institution study shows the suburbs became home to an increasing number of poor people over the previous decade.

The State of Metropolitan America is a signature effort of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program that portrays the demographic and social trends shaping the nation’s essential economic and societal units—its large metropolitan areas—and discusses what they imply for public policies to secure prosperity for these places and their populations.
