Detroit Metro Area Communities Study (DMACS) Wave 20, Michigan, 2024

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 June 18, 2024 and August 19, 2024, we invited 3,012 previously enrolled panelists 4,000 invitations to a randomly selected address-based refreshment sample of Detroit households to participate in a self-administered online or interviewer-administered telephone survey.
Topics include: housing status; perceptions of neighborhood; neighborhood blight; social connection; election; crime and safety; municipal services; mental health; employment.
