Here is an interesting map I found online.

http://www.degc.org/images/gallery/Income-Density.jpg

Its interesting to see how the Sherwood Forest/Palmer/Univesity District stands out and even a fairly continuous swath from there all the way to the Grandmont-Rosedale neighborhood area.

Even though metro Detroit is considered a hollowed out city in terms of wealth and population, It almost seems there is a slight "more of a one side of the metro versus the other"

What I mean is that although, Oakland County maybe wealthier than the northwest side of Detroit, there is an overall pattern of wealth density to the northwest in general, whereas Macomb and Wayne county suburbs, while better off than the southwest and east sides of the city, do show a general pattern again in that regard.

Also how Midtown north of Mack stand out is interesting. Even though downtown has residents, Midtown may be a bit more of a "neighborhood" (and one with a high concentation of cultural amenities).

Macomb County has always been "blue collar" due to the abundance of factories, especially along the Groesbeck/railroad track corridor and the Van Dyke/Mound corridor.

(Although this map doesn't show either Oakland or Macomb Counties.)

Yeah, I've seen all those, except the State Fair/ Metro Park conversion.
