US Census Bureau ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) found within or partially within the borders of the City of Detroit. ZCTAs are a geographic product of the U.S. Census Bureau created to allow mapping, display, and geographic analyses of the United States Postal Service (USPS) Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Codes dataset. They are areal representations of ZIP Codes, and not all ZIP Codes are represented by ZCTAs (for example, ZIP Codes associated with PO Boxes). For a list of all ZIP Codes within or partially within the borders of the City of Detroit, please refer to our City of Detroit USPS Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Codes dataset.More information on ZCTAs, and how they differ from ZIP Codes, can be found on the US Census Bureau's website.

Following each census, Detroit City Council is required by the 2012 Detroit City Charter to redraw the boundaries of the City's seven non at-large districts to be "as nearly of equal population as practicable, contiguous, compact and in accordance with any other criteria permitted by law" (Sec. 3-108). After considering six district boundary proposals meant to meet these criteria, City Council selected the boundaries described in this document by an 8-1 vote on February 6, 2024. These boundaries will be used to determine resident districts when voting in 2025 municipal elections, and will officially take effect January 1, 2026.

All the Zip Codes that are at least partly within Detroit. These are the Zip Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA) as created by the US Census (TIGER), from 2012. ZCTA are close approximations of actual postal zip code boundaries, but align to census blocks. Actual Zip codes can cut through the middle of a block.

List of United States Postal Service (USPS) Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) Codes found within or partially within the borders of the City of Detroit.Implemented in 1963, ZIP Codes were created by the USPS to improve the efficient delivery of mail. The first digit in the code designates a broad geographic area in the United States. The following two digits pinpoint population concentrations and sectional centers accessible to common transportation networks. The final two digits designate small Post Offices or postal zones. For more information on ZIP Codes, refer to The United States Postal Service: An American History.ZIP Codes are one component of a mailing address and are not themselves suitable for mapping. For areal representations of City of Detroit ZIP Codes, please refer to our City of Detroit ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) dataset.More information on the difference between ZIP Codes and ZCTAs can be found on the US Census Bureau's website.

The Citizen Radio Patrol Boundaries dataset describes areas with active citizen radio patrols. The Citizen Radio Patrol program was established in 1967 by a Detroit City Council Resolution and has become an essential part of the strength and safety of Detroit's neighborhoods. Community volunteers who participate in this program receive training from DPD and volunteer a small portion of their time each month to patrol their own neighborhood. Volunteers may serve as a patrol base operator, driver, or observer, roles that work together to observe and report any suspicious activity to the police. For more information on joining or creating a Radio Patrol area, please contact Myra Gracey at the office of Workplace & Community Resilience, Detroit Police Department 313-596-2520.

This dataset contains a geodatabase with landscape metric and social vulnerability calculations for sample plots within the boundaries of Detroit, MI, USA, as well as cities within Oakland County, MI, USA. Also included in this dataset is a landcover classification derived from multispectral satellite imagery that was used in the calculation of the landscape metrics.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2010 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area.
