The U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday that 33.6% of Detroiters had income below the poverty level in 2004, compared with about 23% in 2002. In the two-year span, \"you\'re talking somewhere easily between 75,000 to 80,000 more people living in poverty\" in Detroit , said Kurt Metzger, research director of Wayne State University \'s Center for Urban Studies. And nearly half of Detroit children 17 and younger lived in impoverished homes in 2004.
