20. In ten years Birmingham has lost 12,000 people

Detroit population drop during the same period: 60,000

It is just a whole different ballgame.

Total loss from Peak to today:
Birmingham-Approximately 110,000
Detroit-Approximately 1,000,000
Detroit has lost 4 times the current Birmingham population in 60 years. Put a little perspective on the relative size difference.
