Michigan's bleak economic picture

An AP article ("Incomes fall in Michigan, number in poverty rises") reports:

Detroit's poverty rate of 33.8 percent was highest among cities of 250,000 or more, while Kalamazoo and Flint tied for fifth among cities of 65,000 to 249,999 people. Both had rates of 35.5 percent.

One third of a city population living in poverty. I'd no idea.
