Assessing quality of life in Michigan’s Black-majority places: A statewide landscape
Brookings
2024.06.05
Michigan has one of the nation’s largest Black populations, and its many Black-majority cities, towns, and neighborhoods have made substantial contributions to the state’s culture and history. According to the 2022 American Community Survey (ACS), Michigan has 1,550,153 Black residents (more than Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina), who represent 15.3% of the state population and 3.2% of the total U.S. Black population.

This analysis focuses on Black-majority places in Michigan―specifically, 39 cities, towns, and census tracts, which represent roughly 1,016,359 Black residents and comprise 65.6% of the state’s total Black population. To determine where quality of life for Black Michiganders is relatively high, the report compares outcomes across community, economic, housing, health, and environmental indicators. These comparisons highlight places that may hold lessons for how to improve quality of life among Black populations within the state and other cities as well.
