About Midtown
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.
