Abstract: The release of the latest Census data reveals that Cleveland's population has fallen since the last census and dipped below the 400,000 mark. From 2000 to 2010, the city's population fell from around 478,000 to about 397,000 (a 17.1 percent drop). Cleveland's recent loss of population is not uncommon for cities in the Great Lakes region. Even the largest city in the region, Chicago, has shrunk over the past 10 years. Chicago's population fell to about 2.7 million in the latest census, a 6.9 percent drop from 2000. Interestingly, both cities experienced their peak population in 1950. Since then, Cleveland has lost over half of its population, while Chicago has lost slightly more than a quarter.
