Census Bureau's population estimate for Detroit in 2017 was 673,104. It's now the 23rd-largest city (but may be lower than that when the 2020 figures are officially released). As recently as 1970 it was the fifth-largest city in the US.

Detroit now has less than half the population of San Diego, despite having beaten San Diego in the 1984 World Series.
