Disappearing cities of Metro Detroit: Roseville, Michigan

It all started here.

In the 1950s, Roseville's population exploded, growing from 15,816 in 1950 to 50,195 by 1960. Homes for middle-class families were built quickly, along with shopping centers and small manufacturing plants. 
Roseville was fully built-out by 1970, when it reached its peak population at 60,529. Like many of Detroit's inner-ring suburbs, the city experienced economic stagnation and declined over the past 40 years as development pushed deeper into the suburbs. Today, Roseville's population is holding steady at 47,380 with a median income of $40,300, according to the American Community Survey. 
The city recognized it needed a path for redevelopment about a decade ago. In 2014, Roseville became the first city in the state to be certified by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation under its Redevelopment Ready Communities program, which evaluates cities on a set of best practices for streamlining development processes.
