Hello everyone my name is Zy. I am searching for detailed commerce info on the eastern market for a graduate studies project I'm working. I'm having a hard time finding info on the market alone. Please point me in the right direction.

Thank you and God bless

What about it are you looking for? I just Google searched it and found a wealth of information. Also, search for Detroit Historical Society and search their archives.

Can you be more specific of your needs?

Also, maybe look at Detroit.curbed.com

Sorry. I'm looking for demographic data on the Eastern market itself. I have that info on the district but need more details on who the market attracts and where those people come from. I'm preparing a feasibility study for a development class.

Perhaps attend a few market days? Have you approached the market manage or a few vendors?

I wrote the president of the Eastern Market Corporation several weeks, no response. I have attempted to call him as well with no return yet. I will continue to try to make contact with him but my time is running out as I have 5 weeks left to prepare. I have attended several market days and in fact have done business with vendors in the past. What I need id documented info.

Not sure if that is obtainable? As to who would gather that demographic would be difficult to name. I would interview vendors and do a count myself on the weekend.

The market manager is very had to reach as there are so many things to do. I know when we tried to inquire about selling at the market it took 3 to 5 weeks for him to get back with us.

OK, who the customers are and where they come from - who would know that without taking a number of polls? I can tell you that they come from everywhere - locals, suburbanites, tourists, outstaters, Canadians, Ohioans. Same with the vendors. A few come for the nightlife at Bert's, but I have no clue who they all might be. Maybe that's why you never got a response - still it would be respectful to respond in some manner.
If there have been any fact-based demographic polls taken, I would like to know.
Review sites like Yelp* post customer hometowns, and some give a little personal information. Click on each heading to pore through whatever customer information is volunteered. You might google "Detroit eastern market reviews" and see what you can glean from it.

You might consider going thru the parking areas and make note of license plates, for a rough sample of demographics.

Also, consider going there and conducting polls.
