Catching 'Spies' in Detroit by the Numbers

[Lowell]

I was alway intrigued by the story of how the Dutch vetted Germans during the 1940 invasion when Germans soldiers parachuted in wearing Dutch police uniforms. To separate the real from the fake a challenge was quickly created where suspects were shown and asked to pronounce the names of the Dutch Cities Scheveningen and Gronigen that only trained Dutch vocal chords could handle.

In that vein and since some get touchy about all the new arrivals, how would you fare with this Detroit by the Numbers Challenge? Get 6 correct and you don't hang. Answers here.

35-5
313 sure, but what are the other 3?
1701
1967
[1935 1945 1968 1984]
1,849,568
1805
Detroit Border
N8N

What other numbers or tests should be added to the challenge?

Moderator Edit: No rope for you Jackie5275 but we had to white out your correct answers as your post is too close to the top and might tip off spies. Drag across the post to reveal them.

I like those 4 numbers in the parentheses. Rather than answering, I'll just counter them with 4 much sadder numbers: [1935, 1952, 1953, 1957].

Oh, and N8N is just a bit of a cheat, isn't it? But I guess the local alternative is a bit too obvious.
