How white is indianapolis?

Today, Indianapolis is a diverse and multi-ethnic city with a 30% black population and a total non-white population of 45%. Since 1990, each decennial census report has revealed a decrease in the percentage and total number of white residents in Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Indiana's largest city and seat of Marion County, is located in the central part of the state at the west fork of the White River. Matt Nowlin, a former research analyst at the IUPUI Polis Center, said that although some sectors of Indianapolis are being gentrified and are experiencing white population growth such as the center and the near north, it does not match the larger trend occurring outside the city.
