Detroit Metro Area Communities Study (DMACS) Wave 22, Michigan, 2025

The Detroit Metro Area Communities Study (DMACS) is a panel survey of Detroit residents aged 18 and older. The original panel of respondents was drawn from an address-based probability sample of all occupied Detroit households in 2016 and has since been refreshed through additional address-based sampling annually. Between August 6, 2025 and October 1, 2025, 3,170 previously enrolled panelists were invited to participate in a self-administered online or interviewer-administered telephone survey. Topics included: household composition; housing status; perceptions of neighborhood; social connection and loneliness; election; mayoral priorities; crime and safety; violence reduction; artificial intelligence; flood management; mental health; employment.
