As a result of all these efforts, signs of progress finally appeared during the 1990s. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, median income grew by 8.3 percent, more than double the national average rise of 4 percent. The poverty rate fell, and concentrated poverty declined markedly. After years of steep decline Cleveland 's population fell only slightly; nine neighborhoods actually had gains, including downtown, which grew by an unprecedented one-third. Formidable challenges remain, but City government, the business community, CDCs, and community foundations are working together to overcome them.
