It all started here.
If you haven't figured it out yet, you can't always judge a city by which way it's population is heading. Ferndale, an eclectic town of about 20,000 residents, is one of the trendiest spots in metro Detroit, with vibrant nightlife, highly rated restaurants and a unique mix of breweries, meaderies and a distillery.

Incorporated in a village in 1918 and a city in 1927, Ferndale is located in the southeastern corner of Oakland County, just west of Hazel Park, and borders Detroit to the south.

Ferndale to appoint 2020 Census committee to ensure accurate count. (Royal Oak Tribune, 5/10/2019)
Ferndale’s population was 22,105 in the 2000 census and dropped to 19,900 in the last census in 2010, far below the city’s peak of 31,347 in 1960.
That decline was part of a trend over several decades as baby boomers began to reach adulthood and many families left inner-ring suburbs like Ferndale and Royal Oak in the 1970s.
But both cities now have thriving downtowns and have been attracting home buyers as well as new development for some time.
