Map: Detroit River 1876
This map from the Library of Congress adorns the wall of the exhibition hall at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle. I recently visited the museum for the first time with my son and just could not place this map from the wall. Typically I like to say that Windsor has been holding Detroit’s map legend since 1876, but that was not the case on this map. Windsor was labeled and the shoreline…
Map: Detroit Housing Cost Burden 2024
by: Hannah VanWingen Eckertova This case study visualizes yearly housing cost burden across Detroit’s census block groups using 2024 American Community Survey data. A density chart plots block groups reporting both renter and owner median housing costs as a percent of yearly income. The near-zero regression slope between renter and owner cost burden suggests these pressures are structurally…

Map: Jazz and Blues Clubs in the Heart of Detroit's Paradise Valley 1920 - 1950
by: Rod Arroyo Before Motown put Detroit on the popular music map, the city was already swinging with jazz and blues venues. From the mid-1930s through the early 1950s, Paradise Valley and Sugar Hill — vibrant and mostly-Black neighborhoods clustered north of Gratiot, east of Woodward, south of Warren (Sugar Hill), south of Mack (Paradise Valley), and extending to Hastings Street (now the…
Map: Public Art and Post-Industrial Infrastructure in Detroit
by: Andy Frantz “Public Art, the Post-Industrial, and Economic Opportunity in Detroit” examines the geospatial and demographic relationships between Detroit’s physical and creative infrastructure with community financial prosperity. The practice of creative placemaking asserts that public art supports community and economic development, and Rust Belt cities such as Detroit have utilized their…
Guide Map of the City of Detroit 1863
A colleague was recently talking about Civil War history and this map popped back up on my radar. Published by Silas Farmer & Co., this map was digitized by in the NYPL Map Division. In 1863, everything of importance was half a mile away from Campus Martius from government buildings, colleges, high school, hospitals and churches. Notably, a number of “colored” churches are listed along Beaubien…

Comparing the Duggan and Sheffield State of the City Addresses
As a follow up to our post analyzing former Mayor Mike Duggan’s last State of the City (SOTC) address, we ran our analysis on a transcript of current Mayor Sheffield’s first address to the city to see what differences, if any, appeared in the data. This analysis is done by running an exact keyword analysis on the transcript text which, as we noted previously, has its own strengths and…
Map: Billboards in Detroit
by: Julian Bruinsma This map shows the billboards in Detroit using a dataset from MDOT. You can find the complete dataset at DetroitData.org. The placement of billboards along major roadways reflect the busiest throughfares in the city. In a world of increasingly individualized and targeted advertising, billboards represent one of the last communal advertising experiences. The relative…
Detroit Coworking Map 2026
Since 2014, I’ve tracked 52 different coworking spaces (not including spaces where one could “co-work,” but specific places marketed for coworking). As of May 2026, 25 coworking locations are open. Six locations have been around since 2014, including: Junction440 at Techtown, OmniCorpsDetroit, Grand Circus Co., Bamboo Detroit, Grand River Workplace, and Green Garage. These locations seem to have…
Map: Occupy the Summer Youth Programs 2026
Summer Fridays, Midnight Basketball, and expanded Recreation Center hours – Mayor Sheffield is tackling youth opportunity head on with the same kind of focus we’ve seen in past administrations from Kilpatrick’s “Mayor’s Time” to the exponential growth of “Grow Detroit’s Young Talent” (GDYT) under mayors Bing and Duggan. The effort is powered by the United Way with groups from Slow Roll, Motown…
Map: Water Shutoffs over Buried Waterways in Detroit
by: Laura Bailey “LB” Brandon, map by Joanne Coutts From my apartment window, I see the Detroit River. On a sunny spring afternoon, small boats float along its edges, carrying silhouettes of fishermen as the current gently pulls them west. The surface is dimpled by ripples, vibrating like static on a blue screen. I imagine standing at the shore where air lifts warmth from water to land, and my…
Map: Master Plan Railroad Grade Separation 1950
We are quickly approaching time for our annual Detroit Regional Transit Fantasy Support Group gathering. This map in the 1950-51 Master Plan jumped out to me as an interesting “what if” these routes had become a light rail system in the city? I know a good chunk of these old railways are being turned into the 30-mile Joe Louis Greenway and maybe we can imagine elevated rail above the greenway?…
A Fishing Map of the Detroit River
by: Joanne Coutts I created this map as part of a project with Friends of the Rouge and the University of Michigan Detroit Center to share the importance of shore fishing to the Boynton, Delray and Oakwood Heights communities around Fort Street Bridge Park and Zug Island. Shore and small boat fishing are popular activities all across Detroit. Even in the neighborhoods far from the river there…
Mapping Public Benefits for Detroit Residents
For years our team has been surprised that a unified eligibility screener or universal intake to ensure Detroit residents know about and can easily enroll in benefits or social service programs hasn’t existed. The Detroit Data team compiled public benefits offered by the City of Detroit and its intermediaries through various programs listed on the City of Detroit’s website. Reviewing the public…

Map: Tracking Detroit Urban Sprawl 1900 - 2000
The team at Felt made a incredible map of the US from a Zillow-based dataset to explore urbanization analysis across the country. The interesting stories shine through the data in major cities, like Detroit. SEMCOG has a great hand drawn version of this map type and its really interesting that this could be recreated from Zillow data. More from Felt, “By the 1900s the majority of the US…
