West Philadelphia Trends

West Philadelphia’s population shifted from majority-white to majority-black between 1950 and 1960. Each of the next five decennial censuses (1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010) would show the steadily increasing, dominant share of West Philadelphia’s population represented by blacks.
