As DN said, I was going after the general demographics.... and as for Detroit's reputation in that era [[1980s)... the neighborhoods were actually in much much better condition [[with a FEW exceptions) than they are today... The mortgage meltdown is quickly decimating some of Detroit's more stable neighborhoods at an alarming rate, while the downtown and Midtown are in better shape today than they were then. But New Center was in better shape in the 80s than today.
