Map: White Population Change in Detroit 2000 – 2020

Population in Detroit is often talked about as losses, which has been a long-term trend that has not reversed under the current mayor. As a majority Black city, the losses are among Detroit’s Black middle class and families who seek better schools and safer neighborhoods. White population isn’t discussed as much, but presents some significant influences on population dynamic.

The white population increased by 115% within the city’s 7.2 sq mi Greater Downtown area, even though it decreased by 12% citywide since 2000.

  1. Today’s map of population change in Detroit from 2010 to 2020 is very interesting. Thank you for keeping me on your mailing list.

    I have only a little bit of ability to produce maps. One spring gets here, you might consider offering a two or three hour seminar about drawing maps to illustrate demographic and economic change in Detroit and Michigan.

    Thank you very much.
