Detroit population

Government figures released Thursday show Detroit saw its population grow for the first time in decades, rising by 1,852 people to 633,218 inhabitants last year.

In 2012, Detroiters began electing most City Council members by district. But since the city has continued to lose population and districts have become unbalanced, the Council is required to redraw the maps.

The census officially put Detroit’s population at around 639,000 people. But using U.S. Postal Service data and on-the-ground canvassing, teams from the University of Michigan and Wayne State University found that census takers consistently missed at least 8% of households in five of Detroit’s more stable, populated neighborhoods.
