The Gun Of Bavaria Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Another "Milestone" for that hell hole to my immediate south. Detroit used to have 2.2 Million people Good News, they just laid off 150 police officers too. ----------------------------------------------- http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews/pm5763_20050830.htm Census data shows Detroit now nation's poorest city Tuesday, August 30, 2005 ASSOCIATED PRESS Detroit has risen to the top of the list of the country's most impoverished metropolises, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. The data released Tuesday shows that 33.6 percent of Detroit residents live in poverty. Detroit topped El Paso, Texas; Miami; Newark, N.J.; Atlanta and Long Beach, Calif., in the rankings. In a half-century, Detroit has lost about half its population and is now the country's 11th largest city with just over 900,000 residents. :shock: Cleveland, which had been the nation's poorest big city, fell from No. 1 to No. 12 on the list, Census Bureau researchers said. The report said the percentage of Cleveland residents living in poverty fell to 23.2 percent from 31.3 percent in last year's report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
