I'm working on data for the British metro areas as well and they also suffered severe declines on metropolitan levels (Liverpool, Glasgow), performing worse than Detroit metro, as population was pretty much stable during this period. However, since the 2000's, not only they're back growing but at a rather healthy pace.
And the secret is immigration, lots of it. And as soon immigrants arrive they help to estabilize population, to make the economy more dynamic and as consequence negative domestic migration tends to disappear.
Hamtramck seems to have done that, but not Rust Belt metro areas.
