Midtown Detroit is an area roughly two square miles between Downtown Detroit to the south and New Center to the north. Its boundaries are the Ford, Chrysler, Fisher, and Lodge Freeways. It includes the Art Center and the Medical Center in the northeast quadrant, Wayne State University’s campus, the Detroit Public Library, and the Detroit Historical Museum in the northwest, and the Cultural Center including various restaurants, galleries, and nightlife venues along Woodward in the center, among other things. As of the census of 2000, there were 16,877 residents living in the area; 19 % of whom were white, considerably more than the 12 % in Detroit as a whole. Asians made up 7.6 % compared to less than one percent in the city of Detroit. The area has experienced a renaissance in the past few years as billions of dollars have been invested Wayne State and others and thousands of new homes constructed or rehabilitated. The daytime population surpasses fifty thousand and includes tens of thousands of Wayne State students, teachers, and doctors at the Medical Center. This area includes Brush Park and the Cass corridor.
