Cleveland no longer poorest U.S. big city

You might not feel any richer, and experts question whether the region is any less poor, but Cleveland shed a shameful label Tuesday. No longer are we the poorest big city in America. Not even close.

The city fell to No. 12 from No. 1 in the government's ranking of America's poorest big cities, tied with New Orleans -- before the hurricane. Cleveland's one-year reign as the nation's poorest big city is over, while Detroit's has just begun.

The U.S. Census Bureau's fledgling annual survey of standards of living in American cities has generated controversy for its possible inaccuracies, especially this year.



IN YOUR FACE DETROIT!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!
