I grew up in Gary until I was 17. My mom ws a poor widow living on Social Security (after US Steel screwed her out of her widow’s pension) so we had to stick around and become a minority in a mostly black/Latino neighborhood.

East Gary, Indiana changed its name back to Lake Station to try and avoid any association with the place.
