The document summarizes demographic trends in Detroit from 1950 to 2010 using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. It shows that Detroit experienced significant population loss and density declines over this period as residents moved to surrounding suburbs. Key trends included a 44% decline in the white population from 2000-2010, along with declines among most other racial/ethnic groups except Hispanics. Younger age cohorts also declined substantially. Maps visualize these population changes over time at the neighborhood level.
