ACCORDING TO THE U-S CENSUS BUREAU, AFTER YEARS OF DECLINE, CLEVELAND'S POPULATION HAS FLATTENED.
THE CITY'S POPULATION FOR LAST JUSY WAS ABOUT 362 THOUSAND RESIDENTS. THAT'S ALMOST COMPLETELY UNCHANGED FROM JULY 2022. FOR COMPARISON'S SAKE, CLEVELAND LOST MORE THAN 2500 RESIDENTS BACK IN 2022 AND MORE THAN 6,000 IN 2021. THIS IS A FAR CRY FROM CLEVELAND'S POPULATION PEAK WHICH OCCURRED IN 1950 WHEN THE CITY CLAIMED JUST SHORT OF 1 MILLION RESIDENTS. CLEVELAND IS CURRENTLY THE 54TH MOST POPULOUS CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. WE ARE 2ND IN POPULATION IN THE STATE OF OHIO.
