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.

底特律都会区社区研究（Detroit Metro Area Communities Study, DMACS）是一项针对18岁及以上底特律居民的固定面板追踪调查。该研究的初始固定面板样本于2016年通过针对底特律所有常住住户的基于地址框的概率抽样（address-based probability sample）抽取，并在此后每年通过额外的基于地址框的抽样完成样本更新。2024年6月18日至8月19日期间，研究团队向3012名已纳入原有面板的受访者发出参与邀请，同时向4000名随机抽取的底特律住户补充抽样样本（refreshment sample）发出邀请，邀请受访者选择自行完成在线问卷或接受访谈员协助的电话调查。
本次调查涵盖的主题包括：住房状况、社区观感、社区破败程度、社会联结、选举动态、犯罪与安全状况、市政服务、心理健康及就业情况。
