Thus, by 2010 a rent gap of $399, 500.00 is estimated to be the profit made in Bronzeville per household from the new construction and remodeling of condominiums, town homes, and single family housing stock vintage. Moreover, the population of Bronzeville declined steadily from 1960 to 1990; leveling off by 2000. A ten-year projection estimates that the population of Bronzeville will begin to increase (see Figure 10). Figure 9: 2010 Projections in Median Rent By the year 2010 the Bronzeville population is estimated to climb back to its population size in 1980 (see Figure 10 below).
