Map: Metro Detroit Ancestry 2024

The New York Times put together this interesting map of ancestry data from the American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau. You can easily find the well-known pockets of racial-ethnic populations in Detroit, but the metro region provides some nuance as to where many immigrant population migrated to outside of Detroit. The Grosse Pointes are very English, further east is very Polish. Detroit’s Chaldean populations moved northward to Sterling Heights and Bloomfield. Indian populations centered in Novi and Madison Heights. Southfield remains a strong Black majority city just outside of Detroit.
