Census Bureau: Detroit has gained 11,000 residents over the last two years, representing the largest numeric increase in Michigan. The city has now grown by >1% since the 2020 count.

Just incredible news, especially considering the situation 10-15 years ago.

GM took this from us with the Ren Cen.

@TallRomanStatue People *do* want to live in Detroit. Just not Rivertown, apparently.

[coney dog urbanist @detroitdevdoc]

What's the deal with Detroit's Rivertown?

Belle Isle to the east. Downtown to the west. Waterfront parks to the south. Retail/groceries/etc north along Jefferson.

Should be a booming artsy loft district, yet it's maybe the slowest developing downtown-adjacent neighborhood.

Why Young Workers Like the Midwest: “The 6 states’ populations age 25 to 44 fell by 93,000 in the first 4 years of the 2010s but have risen by 237,000 since 2020 ...with the fastest growth rates in Michigan & Indiana” https://t.co/YDTRveqVYw

Trust for Public Lands ranking of 100 largest US city park scores puts Detroit at 53. Equity & access are very good, but median park size and amount of dedicated parkland have room for improvement.

Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan may be the closest city in the country electorally

It voted for Harris by 3 votes, and was tied in 2020!

The first English-speaking jurisdiction to abolish the death penalty in the entire world was Michigan, in 1847.

A small group of Northville-based anti-tax activists are suing to block a Wayne Countywide vote for public transit.

It's odd to fight transit now - with soaring gas prices and more people in need of affordable mobility - but as always, some people are less affected than others.

@SidKhurana3607 What is Detroit’s?

Children are naturally enamored by trains. It is an evil society which does not build trains
