downwardly mobile

any individual, family, group, or other association of persons who has lost economic, financial, political and social status either suddenly or over a longer period of time.
1. The Winchesters were once the most prominent family in town. But due to bad luck, poor judgement, financial catastrophe and inheritance taxes, they are now, like most everyone else, nobodies. They have become downwardly mobile.
2. The Big Three automobile manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, General Motors) of Detroit, MI were once the titans of American industry back in the mid-twentieth century. But newer technologies (the internet, the computer laptop, the iPhone, et al), newer regions (Silicon Valley, Wall Street, SunBelt, et al) and other economic, political and social changes have rendered them to the proverbial back-of-the-bus. The Big Three - and Detroit, MI - have become downwardly mobile.
