After recently returning to the Detroit area after spending the winter in SE Asia, my wife and I realized that we had not filed out a 2010 Census form. We are temporarily staying with a friend in metro Detroit while in transit to reside in another state.

Having living in Detroit for half a century [[mostly in City of) until 2003, I told my wife that since we will not have an established residence as of May 1st [[which the Census form asks for), we should indicate that we reside in Detroit in order to give the city a boost with the addition of "two more warm bodies."

We were residents of Detroit in Corktown at the time of the 2000 Census.

Curious what the estimated population of Detroit is today. If Detroit's census count surpasses 900K this time, I will be surprised.
