Baltimore population falls, nearing a 100-year low, U.S. Census says

Baltimore leaders have celebrated signs that the city appeared to have stopped hemorrhaging residents — and might even be gaining people.

But new federal estimates show the city population falling to near a 100-year low.

Baltimore's population fell by more than 6,700 people in the 12 months that ended July 2016, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Thursday, as the number of people leaving the city for other parts of the United States doubled.

The decline wiped out the city's meager gains under Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who sought to draw 10,000 families to the city. And the loss came as the city grapples with rising crime, a homicide spike, a school budget gap and the fallout from the death of Freddie Gray.

Publishers Notes: This is one of the worse economic reports & outlooks I have ever read. Baltimore now ranks with our nations worse city - Chicago - as population is moving out. A must read as other areas of MD, the population is decreasing including the Eastern Shore:

Baltimore is now becoming a lost city like Detroit. I saw yesterday that the fast food places like Wendys , Burger King and Taco Bell etc. have installed bullet proof glass to protect the employees. These were installed in minority neighborhoods , so what does that tell you. This country is so screwed up in the Judicial field it's not funny.

There is one bit of good news though. If Baltimore loses enough residents the shore might have a say in how Maryland is run again!

A bunch of liberal nuts run MD, that's why so many people are moving to other states so maybe their voices and votes can be heard. I'll be joining them as soon as I can, enough of this crap in MD already.

Mafia Bosses, gang leaders, thugs that want to be in control...they are the ones who surround their selves with lowlife lawbreakers. On occasion they'll toss trinkets as they pass those standing on the street corners and curbs...so they'll applaud and cheer as the parade goes by....the MGA surrounds themselves with this scum and runs you out so you cannot affect them, even with your votes....

I saw a video with a newly elected Baltimore city councilman. He said population has decreased by 400k so he welcomes refugees, illegals and undocumented into his city to live. They will be safe from law enforcement. NEVER addressed why almost half of the city has moved away or why so many murders. He just kept repeating it's a safe sanctuary city. BIZARRE BEHAVIOR

Liberal controled means less jobs and higher taxes. Also means working people move, and leaches stay.

With fiscal stupidity like the millions gifted to the Gray family before a wrongful death determination was even made (and still hasn't been made) Baltimore can expect to fail, again and again. This amount was given to the family to avoid the legal costs the city would have experienced, costs which might have exceeded the award amount. It wasn't rightful, it was politics.

It wasn't rightful? WTH is that?

That is just one settlement of many. All over this country money is paid out for police abuse. You only object to this one because he was black.

The mayor at the time said that the money was partly paid out to "...heal the community." That says politics to me.
