Braddock lost its importance with the collapse of the steel industry in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. This coincided with the crack cocaine epidemic of the early 1980s, and the combination of the two woes nearly destroyed the community. In 1988, Braddock was designated a financially distressed municipality under Act 47. The entire water distribution system was rebuilt in 1990-1991 at a cost of $4.7 million, resulting in a fine system where only 5% of piped water is deemed "unaccounted-for".[citation needed] As of the early 2020s, Braddock's population is approximately 90% reduced from a peak of about 20,000 in the 1920s.[5][6] In July of 2023, the city officially exited Act 47 status.
