Gentrification is a big part of it. The issues spoken of in the articles aren't unique to Austin except perhaps the one dealing with city council representation, and as that article noted, rectifying that issue doesn't solve much because Blacks have been pouring out of the city to the suburbs for a little while now.
What seems to be the issue here is that Austin is a big tech city, which is an industry in which Blacks are woefully underrepresented overall; this is why the Bay Area is experiencing a similar phenomenon.
And this information from the city's website suggests that Austin's Black population, at its highest in the post-era, comprised 15% of the overall population. That's not much at all: https://www.austintexas.gov/page/top...s-austin-texas
Well even Miami's metro counties in Broward & Palm Beach are solidly Democratic blue and the most Liberal part of the state. You can't even say that about Atlanta and it's surrounding counties or the two Texas cities outlying suburbs.
All of Atlanta's suburban counties went blue in 2016.
This is a strange poll because. The internationals that come from the Caribbean are conservative. The Jamaicans, Haitians, Cubans hold very conservative values.

They do, but there are so many transplants in the area from liberal parts of the country. Tons of liberal Jews from the CT/NY/NJ/PA region moving there. Lots of gays in Miami Beach still.

But you can say this about most major cities in the south as well. Houston and Dallas might not get as many liberals from the northeast as Miami does but it does get more from the west coast.

Not saying you're wrong. Because I've never claimed to be an expert on Dallas or Houston. However, from my experience, most Californians moving to Texas are those escaping the liberalism and the higher taxes. They're generally looking for someone to afford a home and raise a family in the suburbs and they don't always agree with the liberal politics of California. Then again, I know a few who have made the move who are also very liberal and live in the more central urban parts of Dallas. Houston not so much. Idk anyone from California that's moved there honestly. Almost always Dallas or Austin.
The people moving to Miami are often people who like partying and letting loose on the weekends more so than people in other cities. Not saying they're all party animals, but that vibe attracts a different type of person. More liberal in the original sense of just being free and living your life. That's the younger crowd. The older crowd is often Jewish New Yorkers. I say this as a Jew with tons of family in NY/CT and friends in NJ/PA. Our grandparents love moving to South Florida and they're overwhelmingly liberal. Jewish grandparents aren't like most grandparents, trust me. They expect you to be a good doctor/lawyer/accountant and to marry a nice Jewish boy/girl, but they're very liberal and accepting and vote overwhelmingly Democratic. Jews ARE the #1 most liberal demographic in America.
NY Jews are not moving to Texas. NY Jews are moving to South Florida, Atlanta, and North Carolina. Atlanta is my second choice on this list after Miami. The movement to NC hasn't been going on as long as it has been to Miami and Atlanta, but it's picking up and we see how both NC and GA are becoming key states to watch out for in terms of Presidential elections.
Again, not claiming to be an expert on Dallas or Houston. Just my experiences. The more liberal people I know move to Miami. The more moderate and family/business-oriented people from California tend to move to Dallas. Just saying what I've seen. Take it FWIW.
