Is Detroit's population growing?

And, even with that, the "citizenship question" is going to make the count inaccurate so it still may not actually be possible to know.

Funny. The Citizenship question was on the census returns up until 1950. Why didn't the population revolt back then? Just sayin'.

Hey Ray... hope you're well...

To answer your question... in 1950 [[under president Truman) we didn't have an "immigration lightning rod" president.

There was no Internet to stir folks up,or planes flying into buildings or wakos strapping bombs to kids.

But there was immigration enforcement so people knew it was handled and most immigrants wanted to be a part of America and the dream and took it seriously.

There also was not 400,000 pouring across the border because they were allowed to,so it was proably not so much an issue.

Well this sent me down a hole. The Census Bureau has images of the historical questionnaires for every census. It looks like each decade asked about things that were important at the time. The 1960 census was interested in what type of fuel you used for heating, and whether you had a TV.
