Detroit is experiencing a resurgence! For the first time since 1957, the city's population has grown by 1,852 residents from July 2022 to July 2023. This growth isn't unexpected, given Detroit's recent acclaim, such as being recognized for having the best Riverwalk and Public Space in the nation by USA Today, being highlighted as a top travel destination for 2024, and earning a spot on TIME's list of Worldβs Greatest Places in 2022. Additionally, the reopening of Michigan Central Station and the introduction of new hotels like the Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown are contributing to the city's appeal. In Mayor Michael Duggan's words, "This day is for the Detroiters who stayed and for everyone who has put in the hard work to make Detroit a great place to live."
