How we ranked these neighborhoods
- Sorted by the typical home value, lowest first.
- 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.
