The relationship between population decline and changes in the revenue and expenditure patterns of 318 U. S. central cities during the 1970s are examined using both static and dynamic models. Declining cities experienced less growth in revenues, especially own-source revenues than growing cities. Declining cities became more dependent upon other governments for fiscal relief. But declining central cities were more successful at reducing the rate of growth in their expenditures. Populatin decline was not found to have any significant independent impact on changes in municipal taxing and spending levels. A city's age was the most important predictor of fiscal change
