I think population figures for The Bronx are interesting.
It grew from 200,000 in 1900, to nearly 1.4 million in by 1940, pop remained stable until the 1970's.
From census figures - 1970 to 1980 it lost over 20% in a decade - 302,000 people, then began the long journey of urban revitalization, where it is now approaching all time population highs that were reached mid century.
