How we ranked these neighborhoods
- Typical home value counts for 50%, typical home size for 25% and the year the typical home was built for 25%.
- Each number is compared with every neighborhood on this page, so 100 is the best on all three here.
- Home value is twice the median assessed value of the houses inside each neighborhood's boundary (Michigan assesses at half of market value), from the Wayne County parcel roll.
- Neighborhoods with fewer than 5 homes are left out. Police here publish town totals, not each incident's location, so nothing here ranks safety; each town's crime rate page has its numbers.
