After the WWII, the manufacturing plants returned to the production of cars and industrial goods. The population rose to more than 500,000 in the mid-1950s. It is half that today. Buffalo was wounded irreparably by the de-industrialization of America.

Honored to have 2 of Michigan's finest cities on the list. Strange that Flint is higher than Detroit but not entirely surprising.
