[edit] Religion

hey what about some demographics besides race?(68.72.113.24 03:09, 19 April 2006 (UTC))

Agreed. Someone should look up the census data on religious affiliations. I might do it myself if I find the time. Arch O. La Grigory Deepdelver 05:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Population Drop

Why did the city's population from 1950 to present time, drop almost by a million?
There was a housing shortage after WWII, suburban growth relieved the pressure. Speciate 23:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Many large US cities dropped in population after 1950. It mostly had to do with blacks moving into white neighborhoods, and whites moving to the suburbs. Black neighborhoods over time generally decay and decline in population - partially due to demolished and vacant housing. CalumetandHecla (talk) 04:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
