What it means for you
So what does that mean for you?
Working from home changes what people want in a house: a spare room, fast internet and a quiet street. A low spot here is not a verdict on the people who live there. It is one public number, and numbers move when a community moves them.
How we ranked
Every number is the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates. A neighborhood's figures combine the Census tracts whose center falls inside its boundary; its medians are population-weighted averages of those tracts' medians.
Industrial areas, parks and the airport are left out.
Final word
This list updates when the numbers behind it do, and every place on it links to its own guide on Rebuild Detroit. Keep this page handy.
