The 60-year exodus from Detroit is continuing but may be slowing, as the city’s population has fallen under 700,000 residents, according to estimates ... by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The government pegs the city’s population at 688,701 as of summer 2013, down nearly 10,000 residents from 2012...
...Detroit, which had 1.9 million residents in 1950 and is now smaller than it was at any point since before 1920.
