The State of Economic Equity In Detroit

Detroit Future City’s (DFC) report, “The State of Economic Equity in Detroit,” illustrates the deep disparities that persist in Detroit and provides recommendations that provide a path to an economically equitable Detroit in which all Detroiters are meeting their unique needs, prospering, and fully and fairly participating in all aspects of economic life within a thriving city and region.

This report is the result of a yearlong planning process that engaged nearly 500 community stakeholders. “The State of Economic Equity” presents 22 economic equity indicators through the lens of geographic and racial/ethnic equity, in six focus areas: income and wealth building, access to quality employment, business and entrepreneurship, education, health, and neighborhoods and housing.

Working towards a more economically equitable future - what a novel concept! Thank you, DFC for the work you do to enlighten all those willing to listen and understand. Just finished How to Kill a City, Peter Moskowitz - WOW! Now, if we can just get the legislature to prioritize housing policies.

I appreciate this report because it separates Detroit from Michigan, SE Michigan, Wayne county, and Metro Detroit. Thank you for this timely economic data!
