With the economy slowing and 100,000 homes due for completion just as the population decreases, the economy could spiral downwards, he argues.

In 1960 the population decreases to 363, and to 321 in 1982.

Meanwhile, permanent population decreases as the city condemns historical buildings for office redevelopment and evicts residents.

Since then, the population decreases to reach its lowest level in 1946 with 249 inhabitants.

However, those municipalities with none of these economic advantages do not see population growth and some see population decreases.
