Talk:Detroit

Demographic loss
This article makes special note of the dramatic loss of population of Detroit. But some other cities have had comparable or greater loss: St. Louis: peak: 1950: 856,796; 2020: 301,578  That city in the 1970s had a greater % loss than any decade in Detroit's history. Youngstown: peak: 1930: 170,002; 2020: 60,068  Gary, Indiana: peak: 1960: 178,320, 2020: 69,093  Flint, Michigan: peak: 1960: 196,940, 2020: 81,252. Consideration of wider context needed.

 * Detroit does seem to have the largest overall drop, only looking at the number differences. The % also seems slightly higher than the population drops in these other cities. If you have the % loss that St. Louis had in the 1970s, maybe we could add that to the article? 23impartial (talk) 13:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Error in lead?
It says General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis all have headquarters in Detroit, but when you click on their pages, only GM has a headquarters in Detroit. Mattximus (talk) 19:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
