The most recent 2024 estimates for the Black Bay Area, source below:


•Oakland 82,238 (18.5%), -10.2% since 2020
•San Francisco 41,300 (5%), -7.3%
•San Jose 31,136 (3.1%), +13.5%
•Vallejo 21,211 (17.2%), -13.2%
•Antioch 17,829 (15.1%), -24.8%
•Richmond 17,493 (15.2%), -19.58%
•Pittsburg 15,999 (20.7%), +28.6%
•Hayward 13,049 (8.2%), -6.8%
•Berkeley 10,586 (8.7%), -2.8%
•Daly City 3503 (3.5%), +48.4%
•East Palo Alto 1875 (6.4%), -41.2%
•Marin City 741 (20.6%), -6.7%

The Bay in total, has a black community of 418,432, which is down 3.7% from 2020's 434,686 black people; this accounts for 5.5% of The Bay's population overall.

A silver lining here, is that there are still some black people staying in The Bay, as evidenced by black population growth in Daly City, Pittsburg, and San Jose. But more people are leaving than moving elsewhere in the region.

I would say majority of Bay movers are going to the Sacramento/San Joaquin Valley, as well as to Nevada (both Vegas and Reno have a TON of Bay transplants), but plenty Bay natives are and have headed back south.
