A boundary file for the city of Detroit - this is not clipped to the coastline.

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.

Land parcel data for all properties in the City of Detroit from the Office of the Assessor. These are the parcel boundaries for the 2024 tax year.The Parcels data set from the City of Detroit Office of the Assessor is updated daily with land parcel data for all properties within the City of Detroit. Records in this data set describe the assessed values, rights, ownership interests, most recent sales data, physical descriptions, and addresses associated with each parcel. Parcels are distinguished from lots or plots of land in that property ownership rights are the fundamental units of division between parcels. The graphic depiction of land parcels represents real property ownership within the City for both privately and publicly owned properties.Data maintenance note: Databases used by the Office of the Assessor for parcels data are checked for updates daily. If an update is detected, the published Parcels dataset is then updated to reflect the most recent data available. Similarly, Zoning data provided by the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department (BSEED) Zoning Division is checked for updates daily. If any updates are available, values in the Zoning field are updated to reflect the most recent zoning data available. The "Data Updated" date for the Parcels dataset reflects the most recent date any data updates were detected and incorporated into the Parcels dataset. The GIS / Land Records Maintenance Division in the Office of the Assessor manages the data integrity of the parcel file.

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 resource is a member of a series. 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) System (MTS). The MTS 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 2020 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 because of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division 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 Bureau 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.

The 2014 precinct data provides a comprehensive map of the City of Detroit’s Police Department precincts. The precincts were created by building from the squad car areas dataset published on the City of Detroit’s open data portal in 2014. However, D3 staff revised the precinct geographies to reflect the maps displayed on the police department’s website since the Scout Car Areas didn't line up consistently. It is possible to view each individual precinct boundary and squad car area on the City of Detroit Police Department’s website. This map was created in order to layout the boundaries of each precinct on one map, providing a complete map of all twelve police precincts. This map was created using ArcMap by Alexis Farmer and D3 staff on July 7, 2015.
