Detroit Population Drops Dramatically in Latest Census 底特律人口大幅下降 With the loss of approximately 500,000 automotive jobs in the region during the past decade, Southeast Michigan Council of Governments Executive Director Paul Tait expected the 2010 census numbers to show some decline in Detroits population. We expected much more around 750,000 people and it dropped down to just under 714,000 people. The magnitude of that surprised us.过去十年，该地区汽车领域就业岗位减少了大约500,000个，密歇根东南部政府委员会执行主任Paul Tait认为，2010年的人口普查数字显示底特律的人口出现下降。“我们预期底特律的人口大约是750,000，但实际上却降低到714,000人以下。减少的幅度让我们感到非常震惊。”The population of the so-called Motor City is at its lowest in more than a century. More than 230,000 people left the city in the past decade.

Mayor David Bing said the low census figures will cost the city and the state of Michigan more money. 底特律曾经是美国制造业繁荣的象征。大批人口的离去将带来巨大的影响。市长David Bing表示，这样的人口普查结果将为底特律和密歇根州带来巨大的经济损失。Every person that is counted in the census brings approximately $10,000 to Detroit over the next decade for schools, roads, hospitals, and social service programs like Medicaid. We are in a fiscal crisis and we have to fight for every dollar. We can not afford to let these results stand.“人口普查计算到的每一个人未来十年在学校，道路，医院和社会服务项目中都会为底特律带来大约10,000美元。我们正处于财政危机中，必须为了争取每一美元而奋斗。如果人口总数出现下降，我们的财政将难以支撑。”Census figures questioned普查数据遭到质疑Bing said he intends to challe
