Quote:I looked at zip codes (which isn’t perfect, because boundaries can change) and places with a large increase in the white share of the population (which isn’t perfect, because you’d really want to look at changes in income levels, but those data aren’t available yet for 2010).
I'd also be interested to see the inverse.
You mean where are the blacks are moving to? Answer = older suburban areas.
We have a couple of zip codes close to me 45210 and 45214 that were
99.9 Black and over 3-5 years are 40% White. In the next 3-5 years this area, Over the Rhine will be 90% White.
Isn't that the area that had the race riots?
One of the areas, there were others. Most of the Over the Rhine rioters
drove down or took buses to OTR to riot.
This group has generally took over OTR, and has spent about 500 Million renovating housing, building new apartments-condos, spend 43 Million renovating Washington Park, etc.

Over-the-Rhine (OTR) is Cincinnati's oldest and most historic neighborhood, strategically located between the city's two biggest employment centers, the central business district and the Uptown medical and university community. 3CDC's redevelopment work in OTR is focused on 110 square blocks from Liberty Street on the north, Central Parkway on the south and west and Main street to the east.
HISTORY & BACKGROUND
Over-the-Rhine (OTR) is Cincinnati's oldest and most historic neighborhood, home to the country's largest collection, 943 buildings, of 19th century, Italianate architecture. Those buildings earned the entire 360 acre OTR neighborhood distinction in 1983 as an historic district listed in the National Register of Historic Places.The neighborhood's name comes from German immigrants who built and settled there. Bridges over the Miami and Erie Canal separated the neighborhood from downtown Cincinnati, where many residents traveled everyday for work. In honor of their homeland, the area became known as Over-the-Rhine with the canal they crossed daily symbolizing the Rhine River in Germany.
Throughout the 19th century, especially the 1830's and 1840's, OTR became the port-of-entry for German immigrants. Residents spoke German, published German newspapers, worshipped in German churches, socialized in German beer halls, etc... By 1850, German immigrants reportedly made up 27% of Cincinnati's population with Irish-born immigrants following at 12%. Early residents built Music Hall, Washington Park and Findlay Market, important Cincinnati landmarks which remain today, as well as the beautiful Italianate housing stock that is still standing today
3CDC's investment in Over-the-Rhine has transformed one of the highest crime areas in the entire metropolitan area into a place where people of all ages, incomes and backgrounds choose to live, work, shop and play. An OTR Work Group, led by Joe Pichler, retired chairman and CEO of the Kroger Co. and made up of more than 30 people representing various OTR stakeholder groups, meets with 3CDC on a quarterly basis. 3CDC staff members also serve on a wide variety of OTR committees. 3CDC's projects are guided by the OTR Comprehensive Plan adopted in June 2002 and contribute to the goal of creating a safe, vibrant, diverse, mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhood.
