The city of Detroit has lost 25% of its population in ten years, according to figures from the last major U.S. census, conducted in 2010. The flagship of the U.S. auto industry, the largest city in Michigan had 2 million inhabitants in 1950. There just are more than 713,777 today. In total, these ten years she has lost 237 000 inhabitants, including 185,000 blacks and 41,000 whites.
Only the Hispanic population of the city has increased by 1 500 people. Shocked by the scale of this exodus, the mayor, Dave Bing, has decided to recount his administration, says The Wall Street Journal.
