It's actually closer to around 100 to 120. Still, cities of similar size in Michigan usually have around 200 or more.

I would encourage you to visit Flint for yourself, if you truly are interested in the city. You can read and research a city all you want, but until you've actually explored and experienced the city firsthand, you're just hearing opinions.

My impressions of Flint = small downtown, no young professional scene or vibrancy to speak of, a few nice historic buildings that have been restored to their former glory, the residential neighborhoods are largely blighted. I've walked around Flint a few times. It's safe to explore. Just be cautious of your surroundings. The downtown area is supposedly safe.
