AT LAST, DETROIT SEES POPULATION GROW, NEW ESTIMATES SHOW
New census estimates find moderate post-pandemic rebounds for big cities in the
Midwest and Northeast.

According to census estimates, Detroit is now the 26th most populous city in the
nation. Decades ago, Detroit was the nation’s fourth most populous.Credit...Nick
Hagen for The New York Times
By Julie Bosman
May 16, 2024, 12:01 a.m. ET
After decades of painful decline, Detroit’s population grew in 2023, according
to new estimates released on Thursday by the Census Bureau.
The increase — to 633,218 from 631,366 residents — was slight, lifting Detroit
to slightly below levels of 2021. But the symbolism was meaningful in a city
that had hollowed out, year after year, since the days when more than 1.8
million people lived there. City leaders have long promised to reverse Detroit’s
long decline in residents brought on by the shrinking of the auto industry,
flight to the suburbs and municipal bankruptcy.
The new census estimates showed similar, moderate population rebounds for many
big cities in the Midwest and Northeast after previous pandemic-era declines.
In the Northeast, cities with populations of 50,000 or more grew by an average
of 0.2 percent after declining an average of 0.3 percent in 2022. In the
Midwest, cities of that size grew 0.1 percent in 2023 after declining an average
of 0.2 percent the year before.

Some major cities that saw population dips in 2021 — including New York City,
Los Angeles and Chicago — largely returned to prepandemic trends, with increased
rates of growth and smaller population declines than during the pandemic.
“We know that people moved out of bigger cities and into smaller cities during
the pandemic,” said Andrew Beveridge, the president of Social Explorer, a
demographic firm. “That’s abated somewhat.”
