placidlynx4 said:Back in Detroit, the local hospital saw 173 births this past January.
That’s actually 27 fewer than last January, when they hit exactly 200.
I guess you wouldn't call this a bad result if you look at the trends from the last four Januaries, but last year was just an outlier.
It just shows how hard it'll be to match those numbers again.
If there's any silver lining, maybe it's that during the first five days of February, they've already had about ten more babies than last year. Two days with double-digit counts.
January:
2012 - 159
2013 - 173
2014 - 200
2015 - 173
Placidlynx4, can we actually determine if Detroit’s population is growing or shrinking based on birth and death rates? If we had data on internal versus external migration, that would help, too. It definitely gains through internal movement, but external migration remains a bit of a mystery to me...
