so yeah, the decrease was big, but it wasn't that big.

and i haven't run all the calcs for all 77 CA's, but i think englewood might have the largest population loss by % from its population peak for any CA in the city.


englewood peak (1960): 97,595

englewood low (2020): 24,369

change: -73,226 (-75.0%)


if englewood isn't THE largest, it's certainly at least a contender.
