That's a good find, I'd like to see the 2020 census data but we're still waiting on that. At any rate, when you look closer at the data from 2000 to 2010, you see several trends:
- Black 18+ pop increased from 45.5K to 46.2K
- Black children pop decreased from 18.7K to 14.5K
- Hispanic pop increased from 200K to 277K (most significant demographic increase)
- White, non-Hispanic percentage decreased from 53% to 49%
- Asian percentage increased from 4.7% to 6.3%
Either black people in Austin had less kids from 1992-2010 than 1982-2000 (possible, given the stable adult pop numbers) or black families left for the suburbs or other cities entirely.
In 2010, Austin real estate was still quite affordable and the east side was not quite developed (article mentions a house could be bought for $100K there).
