In 2009, Data Driven Detroit partnered with Living Cities, the Detroit Office of Foreclosure Prevention and Response and Community Legal Resources (Michigan Community Resources) to conduct a survey of 1-4 unit residential structures and vacant lots in the City of Detroit. Surveyors went out in the field in August and September of 2009, and following this, data were entered into a database and cleaned. The survey collected information on property type, condition, vacancy, danger to the surrounding community, fire damage, and improvements on vacant lots.For more information on the DRPS, including aggregations and maps of the original data, please visit www.detroitparcelsurvey.org.Upon request, field description metadata is also available for this dataset.

The Act51 Map Layer represents the road network that the City of Detroit reports to the Michigan Department of Transportation on a annual basis. The Act51 Map Layer identifies road jurisdictions for permitting and planning.

Public Act 51 of 1951 created the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF), and it is the main road funding source for most cities and villages. This Act defines the formula by which Michigan distributes money for road maintenance to cities, villages, and counties.

Under Act 51, county roads can be classified as either primary or local roads. City and village streets can be classified as either major or local streets. Primary roads and major streets are selected by the counties, cities and villages on the basis of the greatest general importance to each respective local agency.
