Detroit’s downtown has made a strong recovery from its 2013 bankruptcy, but some parts of the city have been left behind, said Sam Stragand, senior program manager for the Detroit Partnership on Economic Mobility at Poverty Solutions: “Overall, we have seen fairly widespread increases in both housing wealth and income. (But) there are still pockets of the city with little activity in the mortgage market” and lagging areas in housing wealth, home repairs and high vacancies.
