Detroit Metro Area Communities Study (DMACS) Wave 17, Michigan, 2023

The Detroit Metro Area Communities Study (DMACS) is a panel survey of Detroit residents aged 18 and older. The original panel of respondents was drawn from an address-based probability sample of all occupied Detroit households in 2016 and has since been refreshed through additional address-based sampling annually. The 17th survey wave, collected between June 2023 and August 2023, sent 5,000 invitations to a randomly selected address-based refreshment sample of Detroit households and invited 2,873 previously-enrolled panelists to participate in a self-administered online or interviewer-administered telephone survey. Topics included: housing status; perceptions of neighborhood; social cohesion; community involvement; activism; school quality and performance; parks; safety; policing; mental health; immigration; sources of information; household finances; social connection; employment; and party identification.
