S.D. Black Population Up

South Dakota's got the 2nd fastest growth of black residents in the nation from 2000 to 2010. U.S. Census numbers show the number of black residents in the state more than doubled from 4,685 to 10,207. The Argus Leader reports 66% of South Dakota's black residents live within Sioux Falls city limits. One demographer says part of the increase might be because of the influx of African immigrants and refugees.
