Fire Incidents

The Fire Incidents dataset provides details about fire, false alarms, emergency rescues, and hazardous condition events the Detroit Fire Department (DFD) responded to from September 2016 to the Present. New incidents are added following a 21-day delay. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Medical First Response (MFR) incident data are outside the scope of this dataset, and therefore are not included. Incident records are created when the DFD Communications division receives a 911 emergency call, or, rarely, notice of an emergency through another channel. Communications dispatches DFD Emergency Operations division assets from local fire stations. Fire incident response and record keeping requirements are mandated by the City of Detroit Fire Prevention and Protection Code (Detroit City Code Chapter 18) and the State of Michigan Fire Prevention Code (Act 207 of 1941) and conducted according to National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) standards. Fire times are mandated by the mandated by the National Fire Protection Association. Each row in the dataset represents a fire incident and includes data about when and where the fire occurred, dispatch times, when the incident was cleared, and whether the fire spread (Exposures) to another building, structure, vehicle, or objects. Also included are civilian and fire personnel injuries/fatalities associated with the fire incident. Fire Incident records can be linked to Fire Investigations records using the fire incident number [Click here] for the Analytics Hub visualization of Fire Incidents.
Right of Way Street and Alley Vacations

The layer displays the roads and rights-of-way (sidewalks, berms, and dedicated public city land) that were either outright vacated or vacated with an easement. It is created as polygon feature class, vacation information based on field measurements, types of Right of Way, and citations of Journal of the Common Council (J.C.C.) and the plat Liber and Page is listed under the column titled "Sub_Plat". The paper maps of the Street and Alley Vacation, the raster layer version of those maps (Linen Map Markup Mosaic), and the Detroit parcel layer are used as base maps to create this data. The street and alley vacations are from 1831 to 2025 throughout the whole city, and it will be updated on monthly basis. For more information please visit the [Maps and Records website].
PLA Streetlights

The Public Lighting Authority of Detroit (PLA) is a special-purpose authority governed by an appointed Board of Directors. Its operations are funded by the City of Detroit. The PLA is responsible for maintaining and servicing streetlights located within public Rights-of-Way. This dataset is part of an ongoing asset verification and improvement effort. As information is reviewed and confirmed, updates may include refinements to existing records and the addition of assets to ensure the dataset continues to reflect current conditions.Because this work is active and evolving, users may notice periodic changes. Monthly updates are made on a regular basis to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information available. This layer distinguishes between pole ownership and light ownershipto support clearer asset tracking and cross-departmental coordination. For PLA assets, pole owner identifies the owner of the physical pole, while light owner reflects ownership of the luminaire.The pole owner field is a recent addition as part of ongoing data improvement efforts, and values will continue to be populated as asset verification progresses. This layer is actively maintained and will be updated on a monthly basis to reflect the most current and verified information. Each record in this dataset contains a streetlight, its location, pole and light ownership, and nearest address. Note that the nearest address field is provided from PLA. Council District, Zip Code, and Neighborhood are populated from our geocoding process.
2026 to 2013 Council District Crosswalk for Addresses

2026 to 2013 Council District Crosswalk for Addresses table can be used to translate (or crosswalk) City of Detroit Council District assignments for addresses between the District an address was assigned in 2013 and the District that same address was assigned in 2026. The table includes only addresses for which there has been a change in Council District assignment. If an address is not included in the table, then the Council District did not change as a result of redistricting. Each row in this dataset represents an address and includes parsed address fields, the corresponding parcel, 2013 Council District and 2026 Council District. Typically, this crosswalk is used to programmatically convert between 2013 and 2026 Council District assignments for addresses in a dataset based on addresses or one or more of the associated Base Unit IDs (Address ID, Parcel ID, Building ID, or Unit ID). Though this table may be used to look up Council Districts for individual addresses, other resources that include council district listings for all addresses whether or not there has been a change in the assigned Council District may be better for some tasks. On the main website, the [My Home Info Tool] may be used to search for an address and see which Council District it is in, as well as a host of other information related to City services for that address. From the Base Unit Tools, the [Geocoder] can be used to locate and attach information, including both 2013 and 2026 Council Districts, to one or many addresses. For more information on the council district changes, refer to the [Interactive Council District Change Guide], [Detroit City Council Districts 2026], and [Detroit City Council Districts 2013].
2026 to 2013 Council District Crosswalk for Parcels

2026 to 2013 Council District Crosswalk for Parcels table can be used to translate (or crosswalk) City of Detroit Council District assignments for parcels between the District a parcel was assigned in 2013 and the District that same parcel was assigned in 2026. The table includes only parcels for which there has been a change in Council District assignment. If a parcel is not included in the table, then the Council District did not change as a result of redistricting. Each row in this dataset represents a parcel and includes the parcel's corresponding address, 2013 Council District and 2026 Council District. Typically, this crosswalk is used to programmatically convert between 2013 and 2026 Council District assignment data for parcels in datasets where each row represents a parcel and the Parcel ID, or parcel number, is included in the dataset. For datasets where each row represents an address, [2026 to 2013 Council District Crosswalk for Addresses] is likely a better fit. Though this table may be used to look up Council Districts for individual parcels, other resources that include council district listings for all addresses whether or not there has been a change in the assigned Council District may be better for some tasks. On the main website, the [My Home Info Tool] may be used to search for an address and see which Council District it is in, as well as a host of other information related to City services for that address. From the Base Unit Tools, the [Geocoder] can be used to locate and attach information, including both 2013 and 2026 Council Districts, to one or many addresses. For more information on the council district changes, refer to the [Interactive Council District Change Guide], [Detroit City Council Districts 2026], [Detroit City Council Districts 2013], [My Home Info tool], and [Geocoder].

Existing Multifamily Housing Sites

This dataset contains existing multifamily rental sites in the City of Detroit with housing units that have been preserved as affordable since 2018 with assistance from the public sector. Over time, affordable units are at risk of falling off line, either due to obsolescence or conversion to market-rate rents. This dataset contains occupied multifamily rental housing sites (typically 5+ units) in the City of Detroit, including those that have units that have been preserved as affordable since 2015 through public funding, regulatory agreements, and other means of assistance from the public sector. Data are collected from developers, other governmental departments and agencies, and proprietary data sources by various teams within the Housing and Revitalization Department, led by the Preservation Team. Data have been tracked since 2018 in service of citywide housing preservation goals. This reflects HRD's current knowledge of multifamily units in the city and will be updated as the department's knowledge changes. For more information about the City's multifamily affordable housing policies and goals, visit here. Affordability level for affordable units are measured by the percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) that a household could earn for that unit to be considered affordable for them. For example, a unit that rents at a 60% AMI threshold would be affordable to a household earning 60% or less of the median income for the area. Rent affordability is typically defined as housing costs consuming 30% or less of monthly income. Regulated housing programs are designed to serve households based on certain income benchmarks relative to AMI, and these income benchmarks vary based on household size. Detroit city's AMI levels are set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, MI Metro Fair Market Rent (FMR) area. For more information on AMI in Detroit, visit [here].
