It’s always important to assess and re-assess where population is dense based on the most recent Census estimates via the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is not the most perfect survey tool, but it is the best data that we have access to on a regular basis. A notable concern with the 2020 Census is the expanding undercount of Black, Latino, and Native American peoples.
Population density really shows the disparities in the revitalizing city where there is a Greater Downtown bubble, a ring of low density around Greater Downtown, and most Detroiters living in the Southwest, Northwest and Far East sides.

Thanks for this map! Ever since working for the census (primarily in the neighborhoods directly west of Grosse Pointe), I wondered what the population counts of the east and west sides were. If taking to 2020 census numbers into account (though, I think the official count is much lower than the true total), I’d venture to say the west side has at least twice the population of the east side. So I’d guessimate the west has around 450,000, while the east has about 200,000 (that total may be high, considering the blight). I’d like to hear you alls thoughts. Thanks
