  1. Dang. Unless I missed it, not a single boarded up house, and some of the public housing looked better than the apartments here. No clumps of urban "yutes" blocking the streets, and no swathes of urban prairie. The demographics tell the tale. The population is 40% white, 40% black, and 20% all other races, including 7.5% non-white hispanics. While Detroit lost 25% of its population between 2000 and 2010, Greensboro clocked a gain of 21%. The percent of households with a family but no husband present was 16% in Greensboro in 2010. The figure for Detroit was 31.5%. Greensboro has 22.7% of its population under 18 while it's 31.1% in Detroit. The median family income in Greensboro is $41,628 while it's 25,787 in Detroit. The percent of those employed or actively looking for work in Detroit is 53.4% while it's 68.8% in Greensboro. It's a good demonstration once again that the way to stay out of poverty is graduate high school, get a job, don't have kids until you're married, and do your best to stay married, at least until the kids are out of high school.
