The slow change is driven by the fact that the region became more

However, change is not happening uniformly, and it ******** to be seen whether the trend will continue—or if old social divides will reassert themselves.

to explore where ******* and ******* groups live in the city of Detroit, and how much the different groups mix.

Detroit shrinks, suburbs grow

Focusing on ******* and ******* groups that made up at least 1% of the population, and using the most up-to-date publicly available data, I found the city of Detroit’s overall population dropped by 11.3% between 2010 and 2022. Over the same *******, the population of the suburban tri-county metro area increased by 3.5%.

Both the city and the suburbs became home to notably more ******, Hispanic and multiracial people, meaning the area became more diverse overall.

The population of people who identified as white and non-Hispanic grew by 41% in the city but dropped by 9% in the suburbs.

While white people were moving into the city of Detroit, ****** people were moving out. The ****** population dropped 9% in the city and grew 19% in the suburbs.

Here’s how these shifts affected the way different groups experience living in Detroit and the city’s suburbs.

• During the 10-year ******* between 2010 and 2020, many ****** Detroiters moved to the suburbs, where they live in more diverse neighborhoods with Hispanic and ****** neighbors. ****** residents who stayed put in the city during that decade were more likely to be living near Hispanics compared to other groups. The latest available data used to calculate each group’s share in the city shows that the percentage of ****** population decreased from 82% in 2010 to 75% in 2022.
• More white people in both urban and suburban Detroit lived in desegregated neighborhoods in 2020 compared to 2010. This trend is especially true in the city, where white people are still a relatively small share of the population despite their recent gains. The population of white people in the city increased from 8% in 2010 to approximately 12%.
• Both Asians and Hispanics were more likely to live in neighborhoods with higher shares of people who share their ethnicity in 2020 than they were in 2010. In other words, their neighborhoods—in both the city and the suburbs—grew more segregated over this 10-year *******. In the suburbs, members of these groups were less likely to have white neighbors in 2020 compared to 2010. The ****** population increased from 1% to 3% in 2010, by 2020, while the Hispanic population increased from 6% to 7%.

The rise in segregation may be linked to the initial stages of adjusting to a new environment for recent
