In 2022, the Detroit metro area GDP amounted to ****** billion U.S. dollars, an increase from the previous year. Detroit's GDP Between 2001 and 2022, the GDP of the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metro area rose from ****** billion U.S. dollars in 2001 to ****** billion U.S. dollars in 2021, dipping in 2009 to ****** billion U.S. dollars. Despite a rise in GDP, the city of Detroit filed for bankruptcy in July 2013 with debts of approximately ** billion U.S. dollars. Detroit was the largest municipality to file for bankruptcy since 1953. Second largest was Jefferson County, Alabama, which filed in 2011 with debts of approximately *** billion U.S. dollars. In 2021, the Detroit metro area had a population of around 4.36 million inhabitants. City of Detroit Detroit was once a major production hub of the American automobile industry, but has since suffered decline as car manufacturers faced international competition and automobile production was moved out of the city. As a result, workers left Detroit and the population fell. In 2019, Detroit had a resident population of roughly ******* people, ranking **** on the list of largest U.S. cities, but has since fallen off the list of the ** most populous cities in the U.S. Poverty remains a problem for the city and many buildings remain empty and derelict. Crime rates also indicate the extent of Detroit’s decline. Detroit was the second most dangerous city in America in 2022, with ***** crimes per 100,000 residents.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents the median household income across different racial categories in Detroit Lakes. It portrays the median household income of the head of household across racial categories (excluding ethnicity) as identified by the Census Bureau. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into economic disparities and trends and explore the variations in median houshold income for diverse racial categories.

Key observations

Based on our analysis of the distribution of Detroit Lakes population by race & ethnicity, the population is predominantly White. This particular racial category constitutes the majority, accounting for 92.02% of the total residents in Detroit Lakes. Notably, the median household income for White households is $64,110. Interestingly, despite the White population being the most populous, it is worth noting that Two or More Races households actually reports the highest median household income, with a median income of $75,156. This reveals that, while Whites may be the most numerous in Detroit Lakes, Two or More Races households experience greater economic prosperity in terms of median household income.

Content

When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.

Racial categories include:

• White
• Black or African American
• American Indian and Alaska Native
• Asian
• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
• Some other race
• Two or more races (multiracial)

Variables / Data Columns

• Race of the head of household: This column presents the self-identified race of the household head, encompassing all relevant racial categories (excluding ethnicity) applicable in Detroit Lakes.
• Median household income: Median household income, adjusting for inflation, presented in 2023-inflation-adjusted dollars

The Detroit early childhood interactive map contains data relating to early childhood and education. It is meant to help stakeholders better understand the early childhood landscape better.

This map shows demographic and income data in Detroit. Assuming an assignment where the poverty fighting charity I work for would like to alleviate suffering among impoverished children in Detroit. Detroit is a Michigan city that always ranks among America's poorest urban centers. Orange circles have below average median household income, the darker shades indicate households with a very low income-close to poverty level. The size of the circles: larger circles indicate a greater number of children in the area.What stands out is the obvioud pattern of low-income households in the city center combined with areas of high child population. This pattern helps answer where in Detroit our charity will focus its resources to help children living in poverty-in places shown on the map where there is a cluster of several large dark Orange circles like Dearborn and Pontiac (for example). The charity may and will offer free after school care and/Or but not limited to breakfast programs.

In a previous study, adaptive responses to a single polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), were identified in brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) captured from contaminated sites across the Great Lakes. The tumor suppressor p53 and phase I toxin metabolizing CYP1A genes showed a protective and refractory response, respectively, up to the F1 generation (Williams and Hubberstey, 2014). As an extension to the first study, bullhead were exposed to sediment collected from sites along the Detroit River to see if these adaptive responses are attainable when fish from a contaminated site are exposed to a mixture of contaminants, instead of a single compound. p53 and CYP1A proteins were measured in both studies with the addition of phase II glutathione-s-transferase (GST) activity in the second. Three treatment groups were measured: acute (treated immediately), cleared (depurated for three months and subsequent treatment), and farm raised F1 offspring. All three treatment..., Brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) were collected from two reference 'clean' (Peche Island, Belle River) and contaminated sites (Trenton Channel, Belle Isle) in the Great Lakes and exposed to clean (Peche Island) and contaminated (Trenton Channel) sediment for 24 or 96 hours to confirm previously identified adaptive properties between different bullhead populations in the Detroit River. Instead of exposing fish to a single polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (Benzo[a]pyrene) as in the previous study, we exposed fish to either clean or contaminated sediment from sites where fish were collected using a petite ponar. Liver tissue samples were preserved in RNA later or flash frozen in liquid nitrogen at time of collection. Differences in CYP1A and p53 protein expression (phase I metabolism) and glutathion-s-transferase (phase II) enzyme activity was measured and quantified in F1 farm-raised, Acute and Cleared (for 3 months) fish. Protein expression in liver tissue was measured using western ..., , Contaminated Sediment in the Detroit River selects for evolved CYP1A and p53 responses in wild brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) populations Access this dataset on Dryad: doi:10.5061/dryad.9p8cz8wn9 The dataset contains three workbooks:

1. Western blot densitometry values for p53\, CYP1A and loading control actin protein expression in brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulous) fish retrieved from four sites in the Great Lakes (Pêche Isle (PI; 42o20’38†N, 82o55’43†W), Belle River (BR; 42o17’39†N, 82o42’43†W), Trenton Channel (TC; 42o10’33†N, 83o9’16†W), Belle Isle (BI; 42o20’57†N, 82o58’31†W). Fish were exposed to two classes of sediment: contaminated sediment and clean sediment. Contaminated sediment was collected from Trenton Channel (Detroit River, USA) and clean sediment was collected from Pêche Island (Detroit River, USA). Three categories of fish were exposed to both classes of sediment for two time points before they were sacrificed: 24 and 96 hours. Acute fish were taken direc...

This statistic displays the average physician-to-population ratio in select U.S. metropolitan areas as of 2013. During this year, there was an average of ***** physicians per 100,000 population in Detroit. Boston has one of the overall highest average wait times for a physician appointment. The average cumulative wait time is approximately **** days in 2014, which has decreased since 2004.
