Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park, was derived from census tract data from the 1930 to the 1990 censuses. Since census tracts changed in the period, some judgments were made. As a result, this map should be considered generalized and not strictly accurate. All other distributions are from the 1990 census. Educational attainment is tabulated only for persons 25 years or older.
Occupation is figured on every person with a job including non-paid family workers.
The tabulations were prepared by New York City Planning Department for the Southeast Michigan Census Council. For the purposes of this table only, Southeast Michigan is defined as ZIP Codes 48001 through 48399. Asian Population, uses data from the 1960 to 1990 censuses. Please note that the definition of Asian changed over time so that the numbers are not strictly comparable. The table showing 1990 through 1996 immigration statistics came from the U.S. Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service.
