    139 SQUARE MILES 139 Square Miles Photography Michelle Andonian Sculpture featured on cover by Carlos Nielbock 1st Printing: July 2017 Printed By: Inland Press Detroit, MI 1 139 SQUARE MILES 2 Foreword FOREWORD At the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, we believe that informed and engaged communities are essential to a well-functioning, representative democracy. This mission is guided by our support for free expression, journalistic excellence, civic engagement, and equitable, inclusive and participa- tory communities. It is built upon the vision of our founders, John S. and James L. Knight, newspaper publishers who were deeply committed to presenting the full, actual, contextual truth in service to their communities. It is with our mission in mind that the Knight Foundation is pleased to support Detroit Future City’s publication of 139 Square Miles. Nearly five years ago, Detroit Future City was born out of a process that engaged more than 160,000 Detroiters to create a 50-year vision for the city’s future. The resulting Detroit Strategic Framework, released in 2013, was crafted with a tremendous amount of data and research on the state of Detroit and the prospects ahead. Now, at a time of continuing transformation for Detroit, it is important to explore a new snapshot of the city’s progress and ongoing challenges. Detroit Future City has endeavored here to present the truth about the realities facing our city today. All Detroiters deserve to be empowered with information that is open, accessible and verifiable. To effect change, residents, policymakers, journalists, civic leaders, business owners, and activists need to work together using a common set of facts.

  • Substance Use and Mental Disorders in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA
    Metro Brief Substance Use and Mental Disorders in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA This report is one in a series of reports that provide snapshots of substance use and mental disorders in metropolitan areas across the United States. This report focuses on the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)1 of Detroit- Warren-Livonia, MI.2 Data come from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH),3 which collects information on the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, as well as on mental health problems from a representative sample of persons in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Estimates presented are annual averages based on data collected during the 6-year period from 2005 to 2010.4 For comparison, this report includes estimates for the State of Michigan and for the entire United States. All differences between the MSA and the State or national estimates mentioned (i.e., statements using terms such as “higher” or “lower”) are statistically significant at the .05 level. For further comparison, tables presenting past year substance use and mental health data for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and 33 metropolitan areas are available at http://www.samhsa.gov/data/NSDUHMetroBriefReports/index.aspx. Population Estimates From 2005 to 2010, the annual average population of persons aged 12 older residing in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA was 3.8 million (Table 1). Of the 3.8 million persons residing in the MSA, 3.4 million were adults (persons aged 18 or older). Michigan’s population aged 12 or older (including those in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA) was 8.4 million, and the State adult population was 7.5 million.

  • Waging Love from Detroit to Flint
    chapter 7 Waging Love from Detroit to Flint Michael Doan, Shea Howell and Ami Harbin Over the past five years the authors have been working in Detroit with grass- roots coalitions resisting emergency management.1 In this essay, we explore how community groups in Detroit and Flint have advanced common struggles for clean, safe, affordable water as a human right, offering an account of activ- ism that has directly confronted neoliberalism across the state. We analyze how solidarity has been forged through community organizing, interventions into mainstream media portrayals of the water crises, and the articulation of coun- ternarratives that center the experiences, needs, and collective power of those most directly affected. While our rootedness in Detroit leads us to focus pri- marily on the experiences of activists based there rather than in Flint, we insist throughout that the experiences, resistance, and aspirations of these commu- nities are best understood as interconnected and mutually empowering. 1 Resisting Emergency Management in Michigan Detroit has provided water to the City of Flint since 1967, the year of the Detroit Rebellion. Within a few years Detroiters had elected Coleman A. Young, one of the first and strongest African American mayors in the United States. Young’s election reverberated across the country. Many whites living in the Southeast Michigan region perceived emerging African American political power as a threat and, over the next several decades, abandoned cities for suburbs (Sugrue 2005). During the 1970s, nearly 250,000 jobs left Detroit and the city lost one- fifth of its population. Over the next decade, black unemployment had risen to 34 percent and the Metro Detroit region had the largest income differen- tial between city and suburbs of any major metropolitan area in the country.

  • The State of Economic Equity in Detroit May 2O21
    THE STATE OF ECONOMIC EQUITY IN DETROIT MAY 2O21 1 THE STATE OF ECONOMIC EQUITY IN DETROIT A publication of Detroit Future City’s Center for Equity, Engagement, and Research AUTHORS Edward Lynch, AICP Ashley Williams Clark Anika Goss Shari Williams Sema Abulhab Released: May 2021 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PROJECT TEAM Detroit Future City Mass Economics Connect Detroit PolicyLink Strategic Growth Group Van Dyke Horn Public Relations FUNDED BY The Kresge Foundation DETROIT IN EQUITY ECONOMIC OF STATE THE Hudson Webber Foundation Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation JPMorgan Chase & Co. STAKEHOLDERS The nearly 500 Detroit stakeholders who lent their time, knowledge, and lived experience to inform this report. PHOTOGRAPHY Tafari Stevenson-Howard GRAPHIC DESIGN Susana Castro-Pollard 3 FOREWORD Many of us have long worked with the belief that Detroiters as a group possess the resilience needed to face our challenges. We have worked with the belief that we possess the ingenuity to find the “solve.” This is the report that we’ve been waiting for, a wake-up call for those who need waking, a pathway to catalyze public and private sector leaders who are ready to embrace a new model for economic mobility based on fairness and opportunity. The pandemic laid bare inequities 400 years in the making, deeply embedded in the design of our institutions, laws, and systems. Today, at one end of the economic spectrum, the wealthiest increasingly garner the gains, while at the other, low wages are a given. For all but the wealthiest, economic life becomes more and more precarious; for the poor, poverty becomes ever more a trap.
