The non-core neighborhoods are still emptying out at a pretty rapid pace. I would be shocked to see stable population for Detroit in 2020 Census, even acknowledging the core improvements and some Mexican/Middle Eastern immigration on the SW side.

I think the city started to estimate growth around 2017. But even if true that won't show up on the 2020 census.

Since Philadelphia started growing again last decade, Baltimore is the only major city in the northeast corridor that hasn't stopped its 20th century population decline. I would recommend keeping an eye on it over the next 10-20 years.
