The millions of people moving north will mostly head to the cities of the Northeast and Northwest, which will see their populations grow by roughly 10%, according to one model. Once-chilly places like Minnesota and Michigan and Vermont will become more temperate, verdant and inviting. Vast regions will prosper; just as Hsiang’s research forecast that Southern counties could see a tenth of their economy dry up, he projects that others as far as North Dakota and Minnesota will enjoy a corresponding expansion. Cities like Detroit; Rochester, New York; Buffalo and Milwaukee will see a renaissance, with their excess capacity in infrastructure, water supplies and highways once again put to good use.

There may be other refuges to the east. Don’t count out the elevated inland cities in the country’s midsection, like Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Milwaukee and Detroit, said Matthew E. Kahn, a professor of environmental economics at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“I predict we’re going to have millions of people moving to those areas,” he said in a telephone interview.

In his 2010 book “Climatopolis,” Professor Kahn predicts that when things get bad enough in any given location — not just the temperatures and extreme weather, but also the cost of insurance and so forth — people will become “environmental refugees,” fleeing cities like Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Diego. By 2100, he writes, Detroit will be one of the nation’s most desirable cities.

Fisher Body Plant 21, a former automotive factory that today stands as one of Detroit’s most prominent crumbling eyesores, will be resuscitated as part of an ambitious $134 million redevelopment scheme to bring more than 400 mixed-income apartments along with retail and coworking space to the Medbury Park neighborhood near the city’s Midtown and New Center districts. Co-developers Greg Jackson of Jackson Asset Management and Richard Hosey of Hosey Development will lead the transformation of the industrial structure in what is reportedly the largest Black-helmed development project in Detroit history.
...
Per project plans shared by the Detroit Free Press, 20 percent of the development’s 433 rental apartments, a mix of studios and one-and two-bedroom units, will be available to income-eligible residents at below-market rates. The Fisher 21 Lofts will also include 28,000 square feet of ground-level retail space and 15,000 square feet of dedicated co-working space.
...
Built in 1919 for auto body-maker giant Fisher Body (later a longtime division of General Motors), the old Fisher Body Plant 21 has been abandoned for nearly three decades and, in that time, has become emblematic of Detroit’s decline due in large part to its impossible-to-miss visibility from the nearby interchange of Interstates 94 and 75.

Majority-Black Detroit has become the largest U.S. city to challenge its figures from the 2020 census following a national head count in which the U.S. Census Bureau acknowledges that a higher percentage of African Americans were undercounted than last decade, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Leaders of Michigan’s largest city, which is more than three-quarters Black, had questioned the results of the 2020 census since last December when they released a report suggesting that more than 8% of the occupied homes in 10 Detroit neighborhoods may have been undercounted.

Even though the overall U.S. population was missed by a small percentage, 0.24%, during a once-a-decade head count challenged by the pandemic, natural disasters and political interference from the Trump administration, some minority groups were overlooked at greater rates than the previous decade. The Black population was undercounted by 3.3%, those who identified as some other race had a 4.3% undercount, almost 5% of the Hispanic population was missed and more than 5.6% of American Indians living on reservations were undercounted.
