The 2020 census revealed that Cleveland’s population contracted another 6% since 2010. It’s down 22% since 2000. The surrounding population in Cuyahoga County dropped from 2000 to 2010, but recovered somewhat over the next decade. Despite Cleveland’s struggle, its downtown core has been growing. In fact, it doubled from about 6,300 in 2000 to over 13,000 in 2020. You can see maps and other details on my GitHub page.

I created a chatbot in Shiny by coding along with James Wade’s three-part YouTube tutorial series (#1, #2, and #3), and added ideas I learned from Alejandro AO’s embedding tutorial in python. You can try it out on shinyapps.io. Unfortunately, the OpenAI API service is not free. I pay a fraction of a penny for every call to it, but the pennies add up. I made the API key a setting the user must enter.
