The Detroit region has faced an on-going loss of population. Recent data and news has highlighted that the City of Detroit is slightly up in population (mostly around Greater Downtown) for the last few years, but the overall rate of population growth is still below the 2010 population total.

A number of inner ring and proximity municipalities also saw population loss since 2010, such as Ferndale, Livonia, Garden City, St. Clair Shores, and a number of Downriver cities.

We are closer to the 2030 Census than the 2020 Census now. Fingers crossed for more growth and opportunity in the next four years.
