New data shows blacks fleeing the high crime in Chicago, a city known for its rampant corruption.
The city also is populated by human traffickers who have made females their primary target as sex slaves.

Chicago's Black Population Drops to 3rd
There was a time when African-Americans fled north to escape the racial oppression of the South.
But that trend has reversed according to a study showing that the Chicago area's population of African Americans has dropped from second to third place behind Atlanta.
This reversal of the ''Great Migration'' is one of the findings of a Brookings Institution Study, ''The State of Metropolitan America,'' released over the weekend.
In 1990, metropolitan Atlanta's black population ranked seventh in the nation. By 2000, it was fourth. And by 2008, Census estimates put Atlanta in second with 1.669 million African-Americans, eclipsing Chicago's 1.667 million. The New York City area remains the largest concentration of African-Americans, with 3.1 million.
