North of Hamtramck

[Dexlin]

What's the history behind the area immediately north of the city limits of Hamtramck bound by Carpenter to the south, Joseph Campau to the west, the Davison to the north and Mound to the east? As a westsider, I'm not much familiar with this area, at all.

A census tract covers an area twice this size with the western boundary being the Chrysler. I noticed using the 2010 Census mapping tool that this is only one of two Census tracts in all of Detroit with a Asian [[Bangladeshi, etc...) majority or plurality. The other is the tract immediately to the east at the foot of Mound which includes the new Emerald Springs public housing.

I assume that immigration is keeping up the half of the tract east of Joseph Campau, but what happened west of Joseph Campau? Obviously, the neighborhood was mostly gone before the spillover from Hamtramck began, which was relatively recently from my understanding. I imagine the west half wasn't a different neighborhood. All I can imagine is that the freeway construction is the difference.

BTW, to be clear, I'm not talking about the difference between the Hamtramck-Detroit border, rather the neighborhood in Detroit and the difference across Joseph Campau.
