Definitely (I’m an African American who grew up in “inner-city” Sacramento). There’s been a reversal of this trend during the 2010s, where the inner city has seen an influx of higher-income residents seeking lower home prices and shorter commutes. Places in San Francisco like the Mission District and Hunter’s Point have undergone significant gentrification. However, low-income renters in the inner city have been unable to keep up with rent increases, which has resulted in an exodus to exurbia or to entirely different metro. I have relatives who moved from Sacramento to Bakersfield for a lower cost of living. There has been a “reverse Great Migration” of African Americans from the inner cities of the North and California to large Southern metro areas such as Atlanta. Some of my relatives have “returned” to the South after three generations in California, albeit not to the same Southern communities or states their grandparents lived.
