Michigan’s largest has gained population for the first time in more than six decades, according to new population estimates released on Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Detroit gained 1,852 residents between July 1, 2022, and July 1, 2023. It marks the first time since 1957 that the Motor City has not lost population, according to the federal agency.

In 1957, Dwight Eisenhower was president, G. Mennen “Soapy” Williams was the governor of Michigan and the Detroit Lions were National Football League champions.

Last year’s official, adjusted Census population for Detroit was 631,218. Its population now stands at 633,366.
