Really… Detroit? It’s in America’s cash-flowing Midwest. But is there a stigma involved? Does it matter?

In the 1950s, Detroit was the wealthiest city in the entire world, led by the manufacturing and automotive industry.

Detroit even filed for bankruptcy.

Between 2010 and 2020, the population of the Detroit Metro grew 2%+, per the US Census Bureau.

Time magazine named Detroit one of the World’s 50 Best Places To Live—one of just five US cities.
