You make an interesting point, According to this link https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/scmsAdmin/uploads/005/841/RTT_RPI...:

* Large urban school districts are experiencing the greatest numerical decrease in Black enrollment. These districts include Oakland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Inglewood, Lynwood, and Compton.

* The largest percentage increase in the Black population occurred in smaller, rural communities (Susanville, Tehachapi, Calipatria, and Elk Grove). Before 1980, these communities had a very small number of African Americans.

According to the cal budget center http://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/californians-parts-stat...

* More than 2 our of 3 Californias with unaffordable housing costs are people of color

And there are a few more interesting facts in both links, so you are correct that it is a complex problem. That said I don't think you can access the best opportunities in California from where the largest percentage increase in the black population is, but it might be that they also moved to neighborhood populous counties in which case percentage increase is not interesting.
