What was the result of white flight?

White flight resulted in the demographic and economic decline of urban areas as many white residents moved to suburban regions, often in response to desegregation and the influx of Black and other minority populations. This exodus led to reduced tax bases in cities, contributing to diminished public services and infrastructure. Additionally, it reinforced racial segregation and disparities in education, housing, and social services, exacerbating systemic inequalities that persist today. The phenomenon also shaped the political landscape, as suburban areas gained increased influence and representation.
