Some FUN FACTS about the D
"In August, the U.S. Census Bureau declared Detroit the nation's poorest big city. Here, a third of the residents live below the federal poverty level -- $19,157 in household income for a family of four.
In some neighborhoods, more than 40 percent of working-age adults have some sort of disability.
The city, with a total property tax levy of 73 mills, has one of the highest tax rates in the state. More than 50 percent of its residents are illiterate. Car and property insurance rates are multiple times higher than in the suburbs.
The city's population has dropped since 2000 from 951,270 to 911,402 -- about 4 percent -- the biggest loss of any U.S. city with 100,000 or more residents.
And Detroit has one of the highest rates for infection by sexually transmitted diseases, like syphilis."
So, stay in after midnight (unless you're going to 7/11, Meijer, Kroger, or Super Wal-Mart)
