that is not a map of Detroit. Everything north of 8 mile is not Detroit and the map leaves off half of Detroit, 5 mile and south.
Not that it is not bad, it's just not complete.
Detroit would get the help it needs if everyone south of 8 mile decided to move north.

was how people (of all races) tend to group themselves into communities about 10-18 miles apart from each other, like little beads on a spiderweb. You can see this especially in states such as Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and the surrounding states, at a zoom level about 2-3 in from the entire country view.
