In 1950 Detroit's population was close to 2 million and it was the 4th largest city in the US. The 2010 census shows that the population is now 713,000 and it is the 18th largest city in the US. Over one million residents have left the city. It is now smaller than Charlotte, NC, Austin TX, and Jacksonville, Fla. The loss of population and the tax base has turned a once great city into a ghost town.
