I believe it has happened to an extent here in the Detroit Metro area. However, I don't think it's the poorest that have been displaced from the city, but a lower middle class that wants out of the city, and can afford some pockets of the suburbs. Detroit, like many places, is one where income and race maps strongly, and I think this influences the perceptions people have about suburban communities as people move in and out.
