Great question. I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the FBs and BBs (Firebeards and Broadbeams) went to the newer dwellings of their kinsman in the Blue Mts, who though few had dwelt their since the Fall of Beleriand even though most of their people left for Khazad-dum. Those lands were much more peaceful than the realms of the Dwarves of Durin's folk. While a small amount stayed with Durin's folk.
They possibly were leaving even before the awakening of Durin's bane, since the dwindling of the population Khazad-dum wasn't necessarily death.
