Detroit (IPA: /dɪˈtrɔɪt/) (French: Détroit, meaning strait, pronounced [detÊwa] (help·info)) is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the seat of Wayne County. Detroit is a major port city located north of Windsor, Ontario, on the Detroit River, in the Midwest region of the United States. It was founded in 1701 by the Frenchman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. It is known as the world's traditional automotive center—"Detroit" is a metonym for the United States automobile industry—and an important source of popular music, legacies celebrated by the city's two familiar nicknames, Motor City and Motown.[3][4] Other nicknames emerged in the twentieth century, including Rock City, Arsenal of Democracy (during World War II), The D, D-Town, Hockeytown, and The 3-1-3 (its area code).[5] In 2007, Detroit ranked as the United States' eleventh most populous city, with 871,121 residents.[6] At its peak, the city was the fourth largest in the country, but has steadily declined in population since the 1960s. The name Detroit sometimes refers to the Metro Detroit area, a sprawling region with a population of 4,468,966[7] for the Metropolitan Statistical Area and a population of 5,410,014[8] for the nine county Combined Statistical Area as of the 2006 Census Bureau estimates. The Windsor-Detroit area, a critical commercial link straddling the Canada-U.S. border, has a total population of about 5,900,000.[9]

Downtown Detroit has some high rent but nice areas, but most of it has high crime and high taxes - a $200k house will probably cost you $8k in taxes. The mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is like a 'gangsta' sucks the city dry with his parties and living off the city. The western suburbs (Oakland County) has most of the "new money" Ferndale and Royal Oak is the gay / trendy community, W. Bloomfield is pretty pricey. The eastern suburbs on the water are the Grosse Pointes - old money (like the Fisher brothers) - near east side is the blue collar area - Roseville / Eastpointe. Northern Macomb county is the white collar middle class. Western Waynd County (Livonia) is also the white collar middle class. There are lots of universities - Wayne State is well known for it's mortician school, world class fencing, but is mostly has commuters. Oakland University used to be the Michigan State Honors college, and has good nursing programs. Most reasonable rent would be in eastern Macomb County - Fraser schools are good - Rent for a house will be $1 - $1500 / month. The economy is terrible, lots of houses for sale, but people aren't bringing their prices down. I wouldn't rent in Detroit - the crime is too high, and public transportation is horrible!
