Detroit's long population decline slowed to its lowest pace in decades last year and some experts say next year's numbers could show the first signs of growth since the 1950s. The Census Bureau's estimate from July 1, 2015, listed the cityâs population at 677,116, a 0.5% decrease, or a loss of 3,107 residents from the same date the previous year.
The township, a northern suburb of Detroit, is located roughly 15 miles north of the city. As of the 2000 census, the township had a total population of 65,159. The 2010 Census places the population at 73,804. Shelby Charter Township is one of the fastest growing communities in Metro Detroit.
