nt, that is, from
25,623 in 1910 to 37,688 in 1920. The Negro population of Harrisburg
increased from 4,535 in 1910 to 5,256 in 1920. The Negro population of
Chester increased 48.5 per cent, that is, from 4,795 in 1910 to 7,119
in 1920. The Negro population of such cities as Altoona, York,
Washington, Harrisburg, Johnstown and Lancaster was considerably
increased, in some cases more than doubled; but not sufficiently to
make any material change in the complexion of the city.

Ohio had an increase in the Negro population of 67.1 per cent. This
State had 111,452 Negroes in 1910 and 186,187 in 1920. The cities much
affected thereby were Cincinnati with an increase of 35.6 per cent,
that is, from 19,639 in 1910 to 29,636 in 1920; Columbus with an
increase of 73.4 per cent, that is, from 12,739 in 1910 to 22,091 in
1920; Dayton with an increase of 43 per cent, that is, from 4,842 in
1910 to 9,029 in 1920. Toledo had an increase of 203.1 per cent, that
is, from 1,877 in 1910 to 5,690 in 1920; Youngstown had an increase of
244 per cent, that is, from 1,936 in 1910 to 6,660 in 1920; and
Cleveland had the largest percentage of all, showing an increase of
308.1 per cent, that is, from 8,448 in 1910 to 34,374 in 1920.

The Negro population of Indiana increased 34 per cent, that is, from
60,320 in 1910 to 80,810 in 1920. The cities most affected by this
migration were Gary with an increase from 383 in 1910 to 5,299 in
1920; Indianapolis with an increase of 59 per cent, that is, from
21,816 in 1910 to 34,690 in 1920, and Terre Haute with an increase of
40.6 per cent, that is, from 2,593 in 1910 to 3,646 in 1920. Fort
Wayne was not materially affected. Evansville had 6,400 in 1920, only
134 more than it had in 1910. South Bend had practically no Negroes at
first but received 691 during this decade in addition to the 604 which
it had in 1910.

The Negro population of Illinois increased 67.1 per cent, that is,
from 109,049 in 1910 to 182,274 in 1920. The two urban centers chiefly
affected in that State were East St. Louis and Chicago. The Negro
population of Chicago increased 148.5 per cent, that is, from 44,103

Louis increased from 5,882 in 1910 to 7,433 in 1920, the percentage
being 26.5 per cent. The change in the complexion of the population of
Peoria, Rockford, and Springfield is not interesting.

Michigan showed an increase in the Negro population of 251 per
