I promise you, people aren't leaving those places because of too many 1950's cookie cutter ranch style houses. It's bad policy, taxes, and people in general are wanting out of the cities. We're among them.
No one is leaving….as a matter of fact we are running out of housing to hold everyone. I live here….you don’t. The policy is good, the taxes are fine, the people love Michigan, the crime is low, college is partly free and immigrants aren’t taking over….isn’t that the right wing narrative? It’s horse💩.
Only if your a moron.. own over 150 homes in michigan max i paid for all 3 bedroom basement garage is 15k and im a landscaper< called tax sale short sales etc my 3 bedroom home basement and garage own both houses on either side of me 2 use 1 as office 1 as biz location all 3 yards fenced together so have 3/4 acre yard and paid 45k for all 3 houses total called use your brain

As an electrician in the Ann Arbor area, I can tell you I'd rather have a house from the 1950s in a Detroit suburb than an overpriced house from the 1850s in Ann Arbor
As a retired electrician who used to work in the Ann Arbor area, I do have a house from the early 50's in a nice Detroit suburb. 3/4 acre where the deer come and go and a shopping corridor with everything you need a mile away.
You can thank U of M for the high cost and high tax in that area.... Old house or not. Student's don't buy the housing there they just rent then get the ell out
I'm one of the 1,994 people who left Warren. Was paying $1,700 in rent for a 1200 square foot house on a .12 acre lot. Moved to Fenton during the thing because everyone started working from home. Now I pay $1500 for a mortgage for a 2900 sqaure foot home on a .52 acre lot. Was a no-brainer.
@@Sacto1654What effects do you think the new bridge will have? At most, it will relieve congestion at the Ambassador Bridge, though in a perfect world, it would put the bridge company out of business because the family that owns it is pure scum that cares nothing about Michigan or Detroit.
People from outside the area won't realize that you've generally just listed most of the largest suburbs of Detroit, ones aboout 36 square miles in size and large populations. If there is any trend at all (you cite "leaving" stats with no mention of "arriving" stats), suburbs like Warren, Sterling Heights, Livonia, and Farmington Hills would always be in the top 10. So would Detroit, at 139 sq. mi. and a population of roughly 700,000 people, Places with a population of about 150,000 -200,000 can't properly be declared "abandoned" if 1,500 move. That could be just boomers moving to warmer climes after retiring.
True. "Abandons" is just a catchy title for the content. None of them are abandoned but they have the most people moving away. I could have gotten into all of the details more but then no one will watch the videos. It's a struggle.
@@PaulWolfert Your video generally was well done. Whether or not a suburb is a great place to live is a subjective assessment. Everybody who posts videos seems to think some level of sensationalism must be tucked into the title or nobody will click on it. Everybody can't be wrong.
its not the Warmer Climates. it is the very High cost of Living in Michigan the very high property Taxes very bad roads very high cost of electricity ect ect, I ended up in the TVA area in 1996 because i could not afford the Ann Arbor area, best thing i ever did . went from having a neg Net worth to having a net worth of 150k with out even trying
Exactly. I live in Sterling Heights. People move out, people move in. The homes are NOT abandoned. And there is construction all over. The biggest problems in Sterling Heights are traffic and the liberal city council which always wants more and more of our money for wasteful projects. it is safe and affordable.
That’s why I was holding my breath. thought Southfield would make the list just by size but I’m glad it didn’t. I still love the city but the taxes are outrageous so they would probably be number 11 up there with Farmington Hills.
Flint Michigan is not the same city is was 10 years ago. Flint Michigan is improving. Things are starting to turn around. Last summer the city of Flint was rebirth. It's not the same city.
Back when my husband and I were house hunting, we were drawn to beautiful mansions in Detroit. However, reality sunk in when some of the highlighted features included security cameras, anti burglar windows, iron gates, etc…… uhm…. No. And since we wanted to grow a family, educational options was number one on our list. I grew up in Detroit and will always have love for this city but I doubt I will ever move back.
ONE MAIN REASON ITS BAD TO STAY IN DEARBORN IS THE HIGH POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENTS. People drive like maniacs in Dearborn and half of them don’t have license
As someone who just moved out of a Detroit suburb to a rural city an hour north I can 1000% assure you people aren’t leaving because of the home prices. its the politics and the people that live in those city’s that are driving everyone away.
We left because we could actually purchase our dream home by moving out to the country. Never thought we could afford a huge house on acreage. The best part is getting away from the crime, bad policy, and congestion. Can't get a pizza delivered though lol, but it is totally worth it!
@@zach87100 It's people who talk like you are leaving because of their racist views ,bigotry and disgruntledness about the fairness of the State also their failure and lies in 2020 !The people there should be happy with the relocation.Dont think it isn't common knowledge, I have heard by credible people who refuse to be a part on these hateful group.Good for you you will miss all those places have to offer, but of course for normal fair minded people
There is little construction in cities like Farmington Hills, MI because there is very little land available to build on. As for population declines in most of these cities it is because of smaller families and an aging population. People have raised their families and the kids have grown up and moved out. You are not going to find empty dilapidated housing in cities 2 - 10. The houses put up for sale are selling quickly in these cities even Detroit.
@@polarvortex3294I totally agree with you. Houses in Farmington Hills are going fast. One went for $85k over asking price and the home needed major updates… that was with a $600k asking. Farmington Hills is beautiful and the homes that go on the market go fast! Extremely fast!

I noticed that many, if not most of the cities on your list, the percentage of non-whites increased by 3, 4 and 5 times from 2000 to 2020, while the percentage of whites in many, if not most of those same cities decreased between 10% and 33% during that same time period. For example: Warren went from 90% white and 2% black in 2000 to 61% white and 20% black in 2020.... Sterling Heights went from 89% white and 1% black in 2000 to 79% white and 7% black in 2020.... Farmington Hills went from 81% white and 7% black in 2000 to 59% white and 18% black in 2020. Seems whenever minorities start to move in, the whites start to move out.
Who wants to stay in an area where crime is rampant with certain ethnicities? 🤷🏻♂️ White flight is survival & civilized behavior. Stay in black communities, be prepared to lose everything including your car.
That explains why Brighton and Howell are building new homes and experiencing growth, white flight is still occurring. I went to the Meijer in Brighton last fall and saw one non-white person in the whole store and they worked there.
thats because they are killing us off. the davos villians have been silently attacking us for years. not to mention they have turned everyone against us. we are endangered
I was born in Michigan in 1961, parents moved us to Florida in 1973. I lived in Michigan recently for 3 years, it's sad what the corrupt politicians in Michigan have done to the state.
Also think from many past decades Michigan they had lots of cheated elections, like this past 2020 election. But now looks like they are all caught and all exposed now finally.
Mayor Orville Hubbard kept it segregated as long as he was in office over 30 years. Also, this was by direction of Henry Ford, who practically owned the city in his time.
Westland has gone down the toilet!! We moved 10 years ago, should’ve moved 25 years ago. We had a brick thrown through the window. Twelve sets of Christmas lights stolen off our house. Someone drove down the street and smashed every cars mirror parked on the street . We were Westland with Livonia schools. Best thing we ever did , MOVE!!
We moved from Westland in 2018 and moved outside of Flint. Night and day. People are grumpy the closer they get to Detroit. Traffic makes me insane. Love country life.
I understand. Everyone has got to do what they have to do. I live outside of Detroit, but work in the legal field and have helped hundreds of people in the inner city have a second chance at life so even if I left for awhile, I'd be back because Detroit is where my heart is. Motown and music you can't get better than that. Well perhaps, but you know what I mean.
Yep, property taxes go up every year, and not just in Detroit, but the entire area. It seems every millage, bond issue, pick your flavor of ballot initiatives, they always pass. It reminds me of a letter to the editor in the Austin Statesman, out there in Texas. A nice liberal gal wrote a letter to the editor complaining that she could no longer afford her little bungalow that she had lived in for many many years, as the she could no longer afford to pay the property taxes. She then went on to explain how she voted yes to every little want or need on the ballot to keep Austin beautiful... She never got it, she voted herself out of her own property. Women should have never been given the right to vote. This same phenomenon is happening all across Michigan, and the rigged elections are not helping matters either. The government here is extremely corrupt.
@@michaelwright1602wow. What a comment! It’s everyone’s fault but the men (or people 🙄) lying to everyone. What a brain you got there… Thanks for the input.
It's the reason why I left in 2012. Many in the nicer areas were forced to pay increased taxes to cover the areas that either couldn't or wouldn't pay theirs. At the same time the school system, garbage pickup, police an fire were all lessened. I don't want to pay more for less... so I left.
Can't mention Highland Park because basically only one race lives there and bringing them up is a no-no. He couldn't say why people are leaving Detroit. But we know why.
I worked on an apartment complex in highland park and had crack heads following me everywhere then when I stopped at the gas station I watched someone pull a pistol out and walk back in cuz he didn’t got the correct change I didn’t hang around too much longer after that lol
@hairdresser1300 if you live in a sparsely populated area "up north" then you're not going to be near a hospital. That's for sure. So if you want to be out of the city, then that's what you deal with. You'll have to drive a ways to get to anything. Grocery stores, gas stations, whatever.
@tedlewis309 I sure as hell hope so. But the country is so far over the cliff that it will take a miracle. The problem is that there are multitudes of evil pieces of 💩 on both sides. And the majority of them are back stabbers that have sold their souls to the dark side.

I was raised in Roseville till my sister and brother graduated from high school I was in 5th grade when my parents built a new home in a the suburbs of Sterling Heights 3rd house to be built in that sub 1972 at age 18 I moved to Shelby Township at 32 I moved back to Sterling Heights area 23 years later I built a home in the Allenton MI area total peace and tranquility living in the woods lots of wildlife and built my own shooting range in my backyard 😊I have chickens and a awesome greenhouse for vegetables all year round and a couple cows and pigs for meat to keep my freezer full a couple dogs to protect the property from predators, I sell my handmade projects at the local flea markets and I can take a ride on my quad or golf cart anytime I want to on the roads in my area, up to the local gas station or the local grocery store, had a sheriff ask me one time where’s my helmet while on my quad, then he said “ don’t tell me let me guess you’re on your way to the neighbors house to borrow sugar” 🤣🤣🤣I told he was right and he said “ I hope you’re making apple pie” I said I was and if he showed up at the gas station the next day at the same time he would get a slice, he did show up and got his apple pie slice 😊I have apple, pear, peach and cherry trees and I don’t hear traffic and don’t see nighttime city lights. I see the sky filled with stars and have a beautiful light show from the fireflies 😊 I could never have all this in the city! Plus if I want to go fishing I just go to my neighbors 4 acre pond, that is stocked with fish I give him fresh eggs it’s a great trading system 😊
Born and raised in the Detroit Metro area. Left in 1987 and never returned. Many cities (Warren, Roseville, East Pointe, etc...) and communities started in the mid to late 1950's when the auto job industry took off and created a housing boom. Most of those homes that still exist were built quickly and to get new couples into a starter home. After the riots in 1967 and the subsequent automotive industry tanking as well as the companies that left Detroit never to return....well, you know what ended up happening.
I am an agent in GR, and the average price is now $345k (up from the $260k when this video was made a mere 5 months ago). There may be 1790 people who left, but we have seen a huge influx of people that more than offsets this "loss".
leaving? They're dying. Those are houses where old people died and now they're for sale. And Ann Arbor is terribly expensive. Detroit has been dropping population since the 1960's

Right! The people who are leaving are being replaced with people who want to be here and the cities are flourishing in many cases or are preparing to restructure. Some people are moving away because they want tradition verses embracing diversity.
I left Metro Detroit in 2003 and would never move back there. Its become WAY too crowded since I lived there, all the nice open land in the areas above 21 mile are jam packed now, and the roads didnt change so traffic is absurd.
Yes, it’s getting harder to find a good size lot to grow a good old fashioned victory garden. We’re going to need it in the future. You can move back into the prairies of Detroit and plant a garden rich in lead and asbestos.
yup its all fucked up over, and they keep cramming more and more houses, nursing homes, apartments etc up here. and every house for sale up here is at least 400k plus. this area was much nicer when i moved to this area 21 years ago, now it takes 10 minutes to go less than a mile up the road for gas cuz of all the people that have populated all the subs around here. and just wait till next Monday when work starts back up.. your gonna wonder where tf all these people came from an start punching air because its takes 45 minutes to go 14 miles.
@@Flammin1000 They all came from the same place you did, for the same reasons you did!!!😋 Imagine how the people who had the "country life" since the 80's and before felt, when you first got there! (I am just givin' ya $#!T....I get it 100%) I'm out near Hamburg. My daughter is 8th generation, still on original homestead property(what little we have left), granted in 1835.

Having to lock my doors, take my keys out of my truck and sleeping with a firearm under my pillow doesn't seem to be a thing that won't happen in my lifetime anymore.
I recently bought a house in Warren, I like the area, and the home. But it always bugs me when people talk about Warren as a whole, but Warren has different parts. It’s a square city with a highway that cuts through it. I like to think of it as a quadrant square. Lower quads are undesirable and keep the police dept busy, the upper right is the best quad, and upper left ain’t to bad either but a better value. I live in the upper right, quick drive to Sterling Heights, and quick to get on the highway.
I recently returned home to Michigan after living in Montana for 20 years. The first thing I noticed is, that people regard the Speed Limit signs as the Starting Speed, not the LIMIT. Second, in Montana, practically everyone wore a sidearm, mainly in case you collided with wildlife and had to put the animal out of its misery. I originally moved in with my sister and she was adamantly opposed to any firearms in the house or my wearing a sidearm in public. Then I noticed, that not a day would go by where someone was a victim of gun violence. I am happy to report I will be moving away from the Detroit Metro area, to a Rural Small Town. I returned because I need better Healthcare otherwise I wouldn't have returned to Michigan. I've got horror stories I could tell about incidents since I moved back. To all those thinking of moving to Michigan, I suggest anywhere above the Thumb area.
Worked in Detroit more than 30 years. Despite new business's downtown, neighborhoods behind it are burned, vandalized homes that should have been torn down the last 30 years.
I guess you need to update this video because, According to the estimate, Detroit gained 1,852 residents between July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, marking the first time since 1957 Detroit has not lost population in the eyes of the Census Bureau.
Wow, less than 2,000 people moved there according to an ESTIMATE (not an actual count) and this is the FIRST TIME in 67 years that this has happened! Let's celebrate! Detroit's troubles are OVER! Yippee! /sarcasm
I was born and raised here too. I have never been able to afford a house because as a single parent money was tight and when I could save up enough to put down a down payment the prices would double or triple and I still wouldn't have enough. I saw a small piece of land 5 years ago for $1000 and should have bought it but didn't because I knew at the age of 68 my retirement wasn't enough to build a house. Now that tiny piece of land would cost me between $45k to $75k. In the last 4 years prices have skyrocketed. I think there are three reasons for this massive increase in prices. One is that the people running the real estate market are price gouging so that they can get bigger paychecks. The second reason is that people are price gouging because they all want to be richer. The third reason
People are moving out of Dearborn it's because if not every year there's a basic storm that comes through and it floods Dearborn it's. Alot of insurance issues etc. I'll comment as I watch.. but Farmington your absolutely correct. The homes are outdated and there's no development 😕
Dearborn doesn't flood. Dearborn Heights floods. Ford Field in Dearborn floods. It's designed to do that. It's a catch basin for when the Rouge River floods, just like Hines Drive.
Dearborn doesn't flood. That one flood a few years ago, was a fluke. However, A LOT of people didn't like what happened to their homes and made plenty noise about it. I don't think any of the residents there are hurrying to move.
I dont understand, this is misleading. What matters is net population change. If a million people left last year, and 1.1M people moved in, then its growing. High turnover means a healthy local economy. I'm sure there are rural places in northern Michigan where no one leaves and no one moves in, and they're stagnant economies. It very much depends on what you're looking for (young vs old vs fast-paced vs quiet, etc)
I live in Farmington Hills! I actually recognize you from that Busch's grocery store, I used to work the self-scans/front desk there a couple years back. Neat video!
@PaulWolfert Busch's is a great market. I drive from Commerce to their 14 & Farmington Rd store, to shop. Out here in the Lakes area, grocery shopping took a hit when Hiller's closed. It is a choice between Kroger's or Meijer's out this way, except for a few small stores to get your groceries.
According to the estimate, Detroit gained 1,852 residents between July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, marking the first time since 1957 Detroit has not lost population in the eyes of the Census Bureau. They are selling homes yes, but others are also buying them and coming in for the first time in years.

I leave in Michigan and love it. Shame on you for showing burned out homes in Detroit which have probably been torn down by now. Detroit, Pontiac, Dearborn are not desirable areas. Who needs new construction? Beautiful homes in Grosse Pointe areas, Troy, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, Washington Twp, Shelby Twp. and then the lake area, St. Clair, Port Huron... love the 4 seasons, great lakes and up north. Homes in MI are still way more affordable than many other areas in the US.
100 homes are lower costs. I am looking to move back to MI when I retire in 3 yrs. MY big concern moving back, has the POLICE force improved in Detroit metro area, what are the taxes like?
The police departments in the Metro Detroit area are all understaffed. Even worse, the Wayne county sheriff's department is severely understaffed as well as the Wayne County prosecutor's office. I am a retired police officer and still live in the area. Be prepared to defend yourself because you can't count on 911 to save you.
I lived in Detroit Michigan born and raised. When I became an adult i explored many of suburban areas to live. I live in the downriver area now. Close to Monroe. I love it. Buying a house no. Had two of those in my 20s. Im looking for land. I want to buy land land land

I moves to Warren over 20 years ago when there was one other black family on our block. There are 3 other families and every home in the last 2 years were purchased by families from India. Every white owned stores are owned by Chaldeans who collect welfare checks to supplement their income. You’re welcome! The entire surrounding suburbs have various nationalities in the Macomb Cty community. Most benefit from free benefits while laying low and bringing others here as well. While I and my husband who keep a immaculate lawn and home, work hard,pay taxes and have never been on welfare are the problem. Now I want to move out further as well. 😂
You sound a little bitter...and racist. Chaldeans that own stores and collect welfare checks? If you OWN a store don't you have to pay property taxes on that..as well as your home? I think you need to really take a deep breath and smell the curry dear.. you're out of touch with reality.

Just subbed your channel, as a Sterling Heights resident I like your content. I am afraid I hate the new soulless houses built today or even from the early 2000’s. I live in a 1924 bungalow in what l feel is the best sub here Wanda Park. Every house is different and not cookie cutter soulless, except where the newer houses were built east of me. I started in Centerline with my 1st two houses, I built up equity and used it to get my current house.

I'm from West Michigan and it's doing just fine on this side of the state we're thriving there's tons of jobs we really don't have no worries on this side of the state and people love it over here
I grew up in Detroit and currently live in a little suburb that touches SWD. I went to visit West Michigan in Holland and could not believe the difference. It was like a whole different state! This is where I want to retire. It's beautiful, never thought I would say I didn't want to live this city life but there's nothing to do here.

@dknowles60 all major cities have spread out creating the suburbs over time. Even smaller cities have. Some down towns have totally shit down and became like ghost towns after all the city and county offices also moved to the suburbs which are now like cities. And the industries that were the whole reason the city spring up in the first place, moved out either first or during the migration to the suburbs... unless they closed down altogether. That's the facts.... weather you like them or not. Perhaps you don't know what goes on outside your own little bubble.

You can thank that snake John Engler. It's criminal that people are related for white flight and pay nothing in comparison in values in property taxes as we do in Wayne county.

Novi, Wixom, Commerce, Walled Lake, all beautiful places with access to wilderness but still only within a half hour of Downtown Detroit. My favorite part of Michigan as well as brighton included. Love the brighton rec area with the beaches.
They are far more commercialized than they were when I was growing up in Novi. Couldn't pay me to move back. Live in Lansing now and it is more like those areas used to be save for the South side issues. Far more parks too and about 10 minutes in any direction and you are in the country. It is fine for us for now but eventually I want to move to a rural area.
I’m shocked that people are leaving Farmington Hills! I was born and raised there but I decided to move to AZ for the weather. If I ever moved back to MI I would choose Farmington Hills
Got the hell out of MI in 1999 and never looked back. Grew up in Jackson and GR. My entire extended family also left the state last year. The negatives far outweigh the positives in that state, and have for a long time.🤷🏻♀️
Farmington hills has a section in its southeast corner that’s very near to Detroit with homes that are 70+ years old. It extends north into areas that are very wealthy. It’s one of the more unique communities in that regard.
We have a home in Warren a rental in Mt. Clemens. The next place is land across the bridge in the UP. I can't complain because we also have a racetrack(696). This man is telling honest facts.

I just sold my house in Allen Park. From one showing, I got 12 offers and sold it for 30k over my asking price.. and my house needed updating. Every realtor I spoke too said Allen Park is hot right now, mainly cause of the school district and at the moment there is an inventory shortage..
As Boomers age out a whole new demographic moves in and bring a new and some would say corrosive culture in. As the country aggressively moves to a “non-white” society we will feel these upheavals. Affordability is only one factor in buying a home.
I always wondered why Dearborn Heights exists when there was already Dearborn. Did Dearborn break off into two separate cities? I have family in Detroit and that city is undergoing a revival that I’ve never seen before and at such an aggressive pace. I’m proud to see this happening.
Dearborn Heights was pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle back in 1960, with bits from Dearborn Township and a skinny strip borrowed from Inkster. It’s like the town planners played a game of ‘connect the dots’!
Dearborn Heights is more or less the remnants of what was previously called “Nankin Township,” after parts of Nankin Township were annexed to create Westland and Inkster.
The main reason most people left their city is because of what moved into rheir city. Most that moved in brought their Middle Eastern culture with them. Houses built to fit 3-4 people are filled with 8 or more people being part of the culture.
You have that right. Very low class living. They’re like pack animals. They are gang-ish. Everybody think in the same box. It disgusts me. Low , backward culture.
It is not anyone culture doing this I’ve seen every race, color, religion, educated or not, gang together and breed prejudices and use these differences to create havoc, all it takes is a few criminal minded that ruin the reputation of great people cultures, races.
Had no problems with theft until I moved io Detroit. In my first 2 weeks there I had my car vandalized twice, all my outside lights stolen except for 1 (aww thanks), the worst was someone tried to break into my bathroom window and was scared off by my cat who perches right at that window. My cat is unfriendly and hisses at everyone, so the intruder was startled I'm sure and ran off. The police came (2 hours later) and found a knife im the grass. We moved before a six month mark.
Love the older homes. Do not love the cold. I left Minnesota decades ago to get away from it. I love Georgia and Tennessee area -- so beautiful and cost of living is very reasonable.
I think this is a bit skewed. Most of the cities mentioned are mostly starter home areas except for Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor. They leave Ann Arbor because people want to get away from college kids. But the others are leaving the cities for forever homes and most were starter home areas. I left metro Detroit and moved to Port Austin/Caseville area. I’ll never go back. I was sick of city life, rude people and traffic etc.
I live in Grand Rapids. Downtown. Describing it as busy and full of traffic isn’t accurate. “Rush Hour” lasts 15 minutes. The downtown area is walkable and friendly and there’s always something new to do.

Detroit is a tale of two cities: Downtown Detroit which is being gentrified and Greater Detroit which is being gutted.
It will be interesting to see what happens to Detroit once the Gordie Howe International Bridge opens next year.
I was born and raised near Detroit and moved to Florida. This is happening everywhere
Not gentrified they only let a few blacks in, just to say we have blacks
So good things are happening in downtown Detroit? Maybe it will spread to greater Detroit.
@@Sacto1654What effects do you think the new bridge will have? At most, it will relieve congestion at the Ambassador Bridge, though in a perfect world, it would put the bridge company out of business because the family that owns it is pure scum that cares nothing about Michigan or Detroit.
People from outside the area won't realize that you've generally just listed most of the largest suburbs of Detroit, ones aboout 36 square miles in size and large populations. If there is any trend at all (you cite "leaving" stats with no mention of "arriving" stats), suburbs like Warren, Sterling Heights, Livonia, and Farmington Hills would always be in the top 10. So would Detroit, at 139 sq. mi. and a population of roughly 700,000 people, Places with a population of about 150,000 -200,000 can't properly be declared "abandoned" if 1,500 move. That could be just boomers moving to warmer climes after retiring.
True. "Abandons" is just a catchy title for the content. None of them are abandoned but they have the most people moving away. I could have gotten into all of the details more but then no one will watch the videos. It's a struggle.
@@PaulWolfert Your video generally was well done. Whether or not a suburb is a great place to live is a subjective assessment. Everybody who posts videos seems to think some level of sensationalism must be tucked into the title or nobody will click on it. Everybody can't be wrong.
its not the Warmer Climates. it is the very High cost of Living in Michigan the very high property Taxes very bad roads very high cost of electricity ect ect, I ended up in the TVA area in 1996 because i could not afford the Ann Arbor area, best thing i ever did . went from having a neg Net worth to having a net worth of 150k with out even trying
Exactly. I live in Sterling Heights. People move out, people move in. The homes are NOT abandoned. And there is construction all over. The biggest problems in Sterling Heights are traffic and the liberal city council which always wants more and more of our money for wasteful projects. it is safe and affordable.
That’s why I was holding my breath. thought Southfield would make the list just by size but I’m glad it didn’t. I still love the city but the taxes are outrageous so they would probably be number 11 up there with Farmington Hills.
I am surprised that Flint was not on this list due to that city’s serious socioeconomic problems and its water crisis.
Agree
True, but Flint is outside the Detroit metro area, it's about 100 miles away. Even Ann Arbor is a stretch, it's about 40 miles away from Detroit.
Flint already lost it's population, long ago
Flintonians left a long time ago, in the same time frame us Detroiters left.
Flint Michigan is not the same city is was 10 years ago. Flint Michigan is improving. Things are starting to turn around. Last summer the city of Flint was rebirth. It's not the same city.
Back when my husband and I were house hunting, we were drawn to beautiful mansions in Detroit. However, reality sunk in when some of the highlighted features included security cameras, anti burglar windows, iron gates, etc…… uhm…. No. And since we wanted to grow a family, educational options was number one on our list. I grew up in Detroit and will always have love for this city but I doubt I will ever move back.
ONE MAIN REASON ITS BAD TO STAY IN DEARBORN IS THE HIGH POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENTS. People drive like maniacs in Dearborn and half of them don’t have license
As someone who just moved out of a Detroit suburb to a rural city an hour north I can 1000% assure you people aren’t leaving because of the home prices. its the politics and the people that live in those city’s that are driving everyone away.
We left because we could actually purchase our dream home by moving out to the country. Never thought we could afford a huge house on acreage. The best part is getting away from the crime, bad policy, and congestion. Can't get a pizza delivered though lol, but it is totally worth it!

@@socizen5619 what was the bad policy?
There is little construction in cities like Farmington Hills, MI because there is very little land available to build on. As for population declines in most of these cities it is because of smaller families and an aging population. People have raised their families and the kids have grown up and moved out. You are not going to find empty dilapidated housing in cities 2 - 10. The houses put up for sale are selling quickly in these cities even Detroit.

@@polarvortex3294I totally agree with you. Houses in Farmington Hills are going fast. One went for $85k over asking price and the home needed major updates… that was with a $600k asking. Farmington Hills is beautiful and the homes that go on the market go fast! Extremely fast!

I noticed that many, if not most of the cities on your list, the percentage of non-whites increased by 3, 4 and 5 times from 2000 to 2020, while the percentage of whites in many, if not most of those same cities decreased between 10% and 33% during that same time period.
For example: Warren went from 90% white and 2% black in 2000 to 61% white and 20% black in 2020.... Sterling Heights went from 89% white and 1% black in 2000 to 79% white and 7% black in 2020.... Farmington Hills went from 81% white and 7% black in 2000 to 59% white and 18% black in 2020.
Seems whenever minorities start to move in, the whites start to move out.
Who wants to stay in an area where crime is rampant with certain ethnicities? 🤷🏻♂️ White flight is survival & civilized behavior. Stay in black communities, be prepared to lose everything including your car.

The property taxes in the metro Detroit area is a deal breaker.
Yep, property taxes go up every year, and not just in Detroit, but the entire area. It seems every millage, bond issue, pick your flavor of ballot initiatives, they always pass. It reminds me of a letter to the editor in the Austin Statesman, out there in Texas. A nice liberal gal wrote a letter to the editor complaining that she could no longer afford her little bungalow that she had lived in for many many years, as the she could no longer afford to pay the property taxes. She then went on to explain how she voted yes to every little want or need on the ballot to keep Austin beautiful... She never got it, she voted herself out of her own property. Women should have never been given the right to vote. This same phenomenon is happening all across Michigan, and the rigged elections are not helping matters either.

Born and raised in the Detroit Metro area. Left in 1987 and never returned. Many cities (Warren, Roseville, East Pointe, etc...) and communities started in the mid to late 1950's when the auto job industry took off and created a housing boom. Most of those homes that still exist were built quickly and to get new couples into a starter home. After the riots in 1967 and the subsequent automotive industry tanking as well as the companies that left Detroit never to return....well, you know what ended up happening.

It's absolutely insane out here too. You have to wade through a sea of humanity to do anything these days...and it only continues to get worse. Having to lock my doors, take my keys out of my truck and sleeping with a firearm under my pillow doesn't seem to be a thing that won't happen in my lifetime anymore.
same problem in my state
I recently bought a house in Warren, I like the area, and the home. But it always bugs me when people talk about Warren as a whole, but Warren has different parts. It’s a square city with a highway that cuts through it. I like to think of it as a quadrant square. Lower quads are undesirable and keep the police dept busy, the upper right is the best quad, and upper left ain’t to bad either but a better value. I live in the upper right, quick drive to Sterling Heights, and quick to get on the highway.
I recently returned home to Michigan after living in Montana for 20 years. The first thing I noticed is, that people regard the Speed Limit signs as the Starting Speed, not the LIMIT. Second, in Montana, practically everyone wore a sidearm, mainly in case you collided with wildlife and had to put the animal out of its misery. I originally moved in with my sister and she was adamantly opposed to any firearms in the house or my wearing a sidearm in public. Then I noticed, that not a day would go by where someone was a victim of gun violence. I am happy to report I will be moving away from the Detroit Metro area, to a Rural Small Town. I returned because I need better Healthcare otherwise I wouldn't have returned to Michigan. I've got horror stories I could tell about incidents since I moved back. To all those thinking of moving to Michigan, I suggest anywhere above the Thumb area.
Don’t you really mean, any thing white?
Please share your horror stories.
I stay away from the thumb area of Michigan. The people are reactionary rednecks. Besides, culturally, it’s dulls-ville. Boring.
Please don't share your " horror stories". We have heard them all. Where do you plan on getting good Healthcare North of the thumb?
Worked in Detroit more than 30 years. Despite new business's downtown, neighborhoods behind it are burned, vandalized homes that should have been torn down the last 30 years.
Farmington Hills = HOA heaven and no fencing
Yep!!
Parents built a home in sub division....yeah....been sold and left
And Mark lives there. You don't want to know Mark.
I don’t want some HOA telling me what I can do with the house I own.
@ yeah
Average home prices are so out of control! Cost of homes and cars combined is a big fat payments that no one can really afford! So ridiculous
But the People of Michigan Voted for it
@@dknowles60 I know I didn't, this didn't just happen,been screwing us for years with government BS
High taxes and high interest rates.
I guess you need to update this video because, According to the estimate, Detroit gained 1,852 residents
between July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, marking the first time since 1957 Detroit has not lost population
in the eyes of the Census Bureau.
Thanks, and yes! This was done just b4 it was announced, it seems.
I read that, too.
Probably illegals are being bussed in and we taxpayers will pay for their new settlement.
Are you sure that's just dead people kept "alive" and counted so they can vote in 2024?
Wow, less than 2,000 people moved there according to an ESTIMATE (not an actual count) and this is the FIRST TIME in 67 years that this has happened! Let's celebrate! Detroit's troubles are OVER! Yippee! /sarcasm
I was born and raised here too. I have never been able to afford a house because as a single parent money was tight and when I could save up enough to put down a down payment the prices would double or triple and I still wouldn't have enough. I saw a small piece of land 5 years ago for $1000 and should have bought it but didn't because I knew at the age of 68 my retirement wasn't enough to build a house. Now that tiny piece of land would cost me between $45k to $75k. In the last 4 years prices have skyrocketed. I think there are three reasons for this massive increase in prices. One is that the people running the real estate market are price gouging so that they can get bigger paychecks. The second reason is that people are price gouging because they all want to be richer. The third reason
you know that houses in detroit have sold for 1 dollar, a good turn key 35k
Great video! I am a UA-camr in the Detroit area also 😊 So glad I found your channel!

People are moving out of Dearborn it's because if not every year there's a basic storm that comes through and it floods Dearborn it's. Alot of insurance issues etc. I'll comment as I watch.. but Farmington your absolutely correct. The homes are outdated and there's no development 😕
Ya, crime n everything else has nothing to do with it at all 😂😂
Dearborn doesn't flood. Dearborn Heights floods. Ford Field in Dearborn floods. It's designed to do that. It's a catch basin for when the Rouge River floods, just like Hines Drive.
Dearborn doesn't flood. That one flood a few years ago, was a fluke. However, A LOT of people didn't like what happened to their homes and made plenty noise about it. I don't think any of the residents there are hurrying to move.
I dont understand, this is misleading. What matters is net population change. If a million people left last year, and 1.1M people moved in, then its growing. High turnover means a healthy local economy. I'm sure there are rural places in northern Michigan where no one leaves and no one moves in, and they're stagnant economies. It very much depends on what you're looking for (young vs old vs fast-paced vs quiet, etc)

wrong, why is Michigan losing a us house seat
I live in Farmington Hills! I actually recognize you from that Busch's grocery store, I used to work the self-scans/front desk there a couple years back. Neat video!
Ahhh! That's awesome! I worked at Bush's for YEARS before getting into real estate and loved the company. I'm still at that Busch's alllllll the time.
you watched peoplescan stuff and called it work. thats super
@@chrhadden nope. I'm old. I worked there prior to any of the "u scan" stuff.
@PaulWolfert Busch's is a great market. I drive from Commerce to their 14 & Farmington Rd store, to shop. Out here in the Lakes area, grocery shopping took a hit when Hiller's closed. It is a choice between Kroger's or Meijer's out this way, except for a few small stores to get your groceries.
According to the estimate, Detroit gained 1,852 residents between July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, marking the first time since 1957 Detroit has not lost population in the eyes of the Census Bureau. They are selling homes yes, but others are also buying them and coming in for the first time in years.
I bought a book at a bookstore in Fort Wayne Indiana. It is titled " Detroit: An American Autopsy" by Charles Leduff", which explains on a number of verifiable subjects, how Detroit went from a glorious past, to a dismal present. Situation: critical.
That book was from 10 years ago. Was already old news when it was published.
its simple ,Detroit has been 100% dem run since 1961

I moved to GR in 2022. They don’t have traffic. They whine about it but every Detroit suburb has much much worse traffic.
I swear, when I was there last time, I barely saw any traffic.
I worked in Wyoming and had to wait every morning on the off ramp to 36th street. Once there was an accident at Clay and 36th. I sat, nearly in my own piss, for 50 minutes on the off ramp. Nope, GR just sucks. Full of stuffy, snobby, aloof turds. I was so glad to commute for 20 years 60 miles each way. Poo Poo to the soap city.
@@JeffreyEllis41 people wait in Almont (~3k people) for 1 hour minimum every day just trying to get to or from work. Because it’s really the only way to get down to Detroit from reasonably.

Im in the wayne/westland area . In 2014 the houses in my neighborhood (1950's brick ranch w/basement were 70k . The latest and greatest house sale in my neighborhood was 255k??? How does that happen??? So im to expect our 1200 sq ft. home will sell for 500k in another 10yrs? Something feels very wrong.
My parents bought a house on Cherry Hill Rd bet Newburgh and John Hix in 1963 for 13,000. I sold it in 2017 for 112,000, the Z Estimate now in 2025 is 213,000.
@JoeCooper-b4t that's crazy😲 . I sold my house in belleville when I got divorced in 2016 for 183k ...Z estimate is 340k now, I don't see how this kind of market is sustainable. "They" keep saying everything's ok , but it feels errily like 2008 again to me.

I leave in Michigan and love it. Shame on you for showing burned out homes in Detroit which have probably been torn down by now. Detroit, Pontiac, Dearborn are not desirable areas. Who needs new construction? Beautiful homes in Grosse Pointe areas, Troy, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, Washington Twp, Shelby Twp. and then the lake area, St. Clair, Port Huron... love the 4 seasons, great lakes and up north. Homes in MI are still way more affordable than many other areas in the US.
100 homes are lower costs. I am looking to move back to MI when I retire in 3 yrs. MY big concern moving back, has the POLICE force improved in Detroit metro area, what are the taxes like?
Lol
@@lesleykrickler3674 There is no singe metro Detroit police force.
The police departments in the Metro Detroit area are all understaffed. Even worse, the Wayne county sheriff's department is severely understaffed as well as the Wayne County prosecutor's office. I am a retired police officer and still live in the area. Be prepared to defend yourself because you can't count on 911 to save you.
My thoughts exactly.He probably couldn't cut it in real estate.His prices and city info is way off.
I lived in Detroit Michigan born and raised. When I became an adult i explored many of suburban areas to live. I live in the downriver area now. Close to Monroe. I love it. Buying a house no. Had two of those in my 20s. Im looking for land. I want to buy land land land
I live in Monroe and love it. Yes, I agree, land would be nice.
My Sis moved from Detroit and lives in La Salle..which is south of Monroe..she has 17 acres..she loves it and it is beautiful out that way..
Hope you can afford the property tax.
Detroit was a Beautiful City. My Grandparents met there and my Grandfather owned a Blacksmith shop called the Groll Brothers Blacksmith. For years I’ve been looking for tools , or just anything that has to do with Groll Brothers or The Groll Brothers Blacksmith shop.
My grandfather and great grandfather owned a butcher shop. I loved hearing all the wonderful stories about Detroit. They left in the early 60’s, and moved to Fort Worth, Texas. What a change! I was born in Fort Worth. I would love to go see my relatives that are still in Detroit!

I moves to Warren over 20 years ago when there was one other black family on our block. There are 3 other families and every home in the last 2 years were purchased by families from India. Every white owned stores are owned by Chaldeans who collect welfare checks to supplement their income. You’re welcome! The entire surrounding suburbs have various nationalities in the Macomb Cty community. Most benefit from free benefits while laying low and bringing others here as well. While I and my husband who keep a immaculate lawn and home, work hard,pay taxes and have never been on welfare are the problem. Now I want to move out further as well. 😂
I’ve also heard from other neighbors, they don’t appreciate the curry smell all the time. 😂
You sound a little bitter...and racist. Chaldeans that own stores and collect welfare checks? If you OWN a store don't you have to pay property taxes on that..as well as your home? I think you need to really take a deep breath and smell the curry dear.. you're out of touch with reality.
You should move you definitely would be more comfortable with the rest of the racist,ignorant Trumpsters you'd fit right in. Do you realize there are way more white people then minorities on welfare programs just visit Port Huron and you can see for yourself
Just subbed your channel, as a Sterling Heights resident I like your content. I am afraid I hate the new soulless houses built today or even from the early 2000’s. I live in a 1924 bungalow in what l feel is the best sub here Wanda Park. Every house is different and not cookie cutter soulless, except where the newer houses were built east of me. I started in Centerline with my 1st two houses, I built up equity and used it to get my current house.
In Dearborn and Dbn Hgts. At one time it was a great place to live. Now crime has increased Fairlane is a good example and its being converted more and more to the mid east which at one time was just a small area in eastern Dearborn.
Thank OBAMA for that. He's an Arab who intends to make this country an ARAB country.

@dknowles60 all major cities have spread out creating the suburbs over time. Even smaller cities have. Some down towns have totally shit down and became like ghost towns after all the city and county offices also moved to the suburbs which are now like cities. And the industries that were the whole reason the city spring up in the first place, moved out either first or during the migration to the suburbs... unless they closed down altogether.

You can thank that snake John Engler. It's criminal that people are related for white flight and pay nothing in comparison in values in property taxes as we do in Wayne county.

Great video! I enjoyed it! Great sense of humor! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Novi, Wixom, Commerce, Walled Lake, all beautiful places with access to wilderness but still only within a half hour of Downtown Detroit. My favorite part of Michigan as well as brighton included. Love the brighton rec area with the beaches.
They are far more commercialized than they were when I was growing up in Novi. Couldn't pay me to move back. Live in Lansing now and it is more like those areas used to be save for the South side issues. Far more parks too and about 10 minutes in any direction and you are in the country. It is fine for us for now but eventually I want to move to a rural area.
I’m shocked that people are leaving Farmington Hills! I was born and raised there but I decided to move to AZ for the weather. If I ever moved back to MI I would choose Farmington Hills
Farmington hills is a great area!
I love Farmington Hills. It’s a great community
Me too!
Got the hell out of MI in 1999 and never looked back. Grew up in Jackson and GR. My entire extended family also left the state last year. The negatives far outweigh the positives in that state, and have for a long time.🤷🏻♀️
yeah
Farmington hills has a section in its southeast corner that’s very near to Detroit with homes that are 70+ years old. It extends north into areas that are very wealthy. It’s one of the more unique communities in that regard.
We have a home in Warren a rental in Mt. Clemens. The next place is land across the bridge in the UP. I can't complain because we also have a racetrack(696). This man is telling honest facts.

As Boomers age out a whole new demographic moves in and bring a new and some would say corrosive culture in. As the country aggressively moves to a “non-white” society we will feel these upheavals. Affordability is only one factor in buying a home.
I'm 68 and glad I lived my life when I did, so glad to grow up in the 60's and 70's, and not now.
I always wondered why Dearborn Heights exists when there was already Dearborn. Did Dearborn break off into two separate cities? I have family in Detroit and that city is undergoing a revival that I’ve never seen before and at such an aggressive pace. I’m proud to see this happening.
Dearborn Heights was pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle back in 1960, with bits from Dearborn Township and a skinny strip borrowed from Inkster. It’s like the town planners played a game of ‘connect the dots’!
North and South Dearborn Heights. It's like two totally different places too. Lol
Dearborn Heights is more or less the remnants of what was previously called “Nankin Township,” after parts of Nankin Township were annexed to create Westland and Inkster.
The main reason most people left their city is because of what moved into rheir city. Most that moved in brought their Middle Eastern culture with them. Houses built to fit 3-4 people are filled with 8 or more people being part of the culture.
You have that right. Very low class living. They’re like pack animals. They are gang-ish. Everybody think in the same box. It disgusts me. Low , backward culture.
It is not anyone culture doing this I’ve seen every race, color, religion, educated or not, gang together and breed prejudices and use these differences to create havoc, all it takes is a few criminal minded that ruin the reputation of great people cultures, races.
I wouldn't even drive through any town with the name Dearborn attached.
They don’t want you to drive through….bigot. You aren’t anyone.

Had no problems with theft until I moved io Detroit. In my first 2 weeks there I had my car vandalized twice, all my outside lights stolen except for 1 (aww thanks), the worst was someone tried to break into my bathroom window and was scared off by my cat who perches right at that window. My cat is unfriendly and hisses at everyone, so the intruder was startled I'm sure and ran off. The police came (2 hours later) and found a knife im the grass. We moved before a six month mark.

Billy camp thinking people.
I think this is a bit skewed. Most of the cities mentioned are mostly starter home areas except for Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor. They leave Ann Arbor because people want to get away from college kids. But the others are leaving the cities for forever homes and most were starter home areas. I left metro Detroit and moved to Port Austin/Caseville area. I’ll never go back. I was sick of city life, rude people and traffic etc.

I live in Grand Rapids. Downtown. Describing it as busy and full of traffic isn’t accurate. “Rush Hour” lasts 15 minutes. The downtown area is walkable and friendly and there’s always something new to do.
Thank you! I'll have to go back 😄 It just seemed a lot busier than other areas when I was there.
