I was talking population wise but also magnitude of debt. Both of which are much larger than the other cities that have declared bankruptcy.

The metro population is still large, it's just the city itself that has shrunk right?

according to the google, it's down to about 700k. That's about the size it was in the early 20th century, and less than half of it's peak. She used to run with the big dogs... but a combination of factors slowly killed the city over the last few decades. Here's hoping she can make a comeback.
