Why the Detroit Voices Data Dashboard Matters
Detroiters’ experiences can vary dramatically—not just between the city and region, but from one neighborhood to the next.
- Only 30% of Detroit residents are satisfied with schools, compared to 68% nationally.
- Just 38% are satisfied with the local job market, despite stronger regional and national averages.
- Affordable housing satisfaction is 29% in Detroit, far below national and regional levels.
These disparities become even more pronounced at the neighborhood level.
- School satisfaction ranges from 12% to 44%.
- Job satisfaction ranges from 24% to 58%.
- Healthcare satisfaction ranges from 39% to 61%.
Localized insights like these reveal where residents are thriving and where targeted investment and support are needed most.
