Accenture opens new corporate office in Detroit's downtown

[313WX]

...Also the city's homeless population is likely the lowest in the country...

^^^I pulled the actual raw data from 2017 to back up the ridiculous claim by the above poster and of course, it's bullshit.

In reality, Detroit is solidly in the middle when it comes to its homeless population in absolute numbers. And to be completely fair, I narrowed the list to only the top 50 major cities [[just as HUD does when presenting their annual report to Congress).

1. Virginia Beach CoC 349
2. Raleigh/Wake County CoC 884
3. Milwaukee City & County CoC 900
4. Louisville/Jefferson County CoC 1,034
5. Tulsa City & County/Broken Arrow CoC 1,074
6. El Paso City & County CoC 1,193
7. New Orleans/Jefferson Parish CoC 1,301
8. Albuquerque CoC 1,318
9. Oklahoma City CoC 1,368
10. Omaha/Council Bluffs CoC 1,389
11. Colorado Springs/El Paso County CoC 1,415
12. Memphis/Shelby County CoC 1,426
13. Charlotte/Mecklenberg CoC 1,476
14. Tucson/Pima County CoC 1,574
15. Kansas City, Independence, Lee’s 16. Summit/Jackson, Wyandotte Counties, MO & KS 1,671
16. Columbus/Franklin County CoC 1,691

It's ok to be passionate about boosting your city, but if you must make up facts to do so, you lose credibility.
