Detroit had 33.8% of its residents below the poverty level in 2007, the highest among large U.S. cities.[115][116] This stands in stark contrast to Metro Detroit suburbs, which are among the more affluent in the U.S.[117]

The city's population increased more than sixfold during the first half of the twentieth century, fed largely by an influx of European, Middle Eastern (Lebanese),(Assyrian/Chaldean), and Southern migrants to work in the burgeoning automobile industry.[118] However, since 1950 the city has seen a major shift in its population to the suburbs. In 1910, fewer than 6,000 blacks called the city home;[119] in 1930 more than 120,000 blacks lived in Detroit.[120] The thousands of African Americans who came to Detroit were part of the Great Migration of the 20th century.
