About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Detroit population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Detroit across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Detroit was 188, a 1.05% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Detroit population was 190, a decline of 0.52% compared to a population of 191 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Detroit decreased by 82. In this period, the peak population was 287 in the year 2009. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

This inventory of Detroit pedestrian bridges and their condition assessments is derived from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and includes pedestrian bridges that span State of Michigan roadways only.Inspections of pedestrian bridges over State of Michigan routes are performed on a risk-based interval by MDOT, not to exceed 24 months. While not governed by the National Bridge Inspection Standards, these inspections are performed to maintain safety of the traveled way and to provide information needed for asset management. Routine Inspections of the entire structure may be supplemented by Special Inspections of Bridge Components that require more frequent monitoring. Condition ratings for pedestrian bridges are evaluated following the National Bridge Inventory Condition Ratings in a similar manner to vehicle bridges. These ratings are based on a 0-9 scale, where 0 is "Failed condition" and 9, "Excellent condition". Condition ratings are assigned for the deck, superstructure and substructure of each bridge or for each culvert. A culvert is a structure that allows passage under a roadway and has a short span (less than 20 feet).
