The U.S. Census released its initial American Community Survey data for 2006 this morning.
The Plain Dealer’s first online take is all about not being the “poorest city” again. (It seems we were only the fourth poorest this time.)
But by tomorrow morning, expect the headline to be: Cleveland falls below 400,000.
The new ACS estimates Cleveland’s 2006 [...]
