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.

Yes, you are correct. Whoever made that graphic is way off. Not sure how they think Englewood itself has only 10K people...
