Background
• The Dequindre Cut is a rails to trails, greenway project in
Detroit, MI
• Located on east side between Eastern Market and Detroit
Riverfront
• Currently 1.35 miles long and runs below grade
• Mack Ave extension to be completed Spring 2015
3
Project Scope
Analyze population and
housing around the
Dequindre Cut greenway in
Detroit, MI
• Concentrate on six entry
points to trail
4
Map Layers
• Streets (Esri)
• Block Group Demographics (US Census)
• Detroit Schools (City of Detroit)
Key research attributes:
• Population
• Housing Units
• Vacant Units
• Occupied Units
• Rental vs. Owner Occupied
5
Project Tools
Application a variety of geoprocessing tools to compile and
analyze data
1. Created a geodatabase to store all project information
2. Manually located six entry points and converted
graphics to features
3. Formed ½ mile and ¼ mile buffers around each entry
point
4. Intersected block group demographics with buffers
5. Selected schools with in buffers and create a new layer
6. Generated summary statistics to further analyze data by
entry point
6
Observations
Majority of population is
located around entry
points 4 and 5
• Entry point 4: 6,428
people
• Entry point 5: 4,331
people
7
Observations
Entry point 4 has the most
housing units within a half
mile
• 5,161 units
8
Observations
Vacant housing is located
primarily around entry
point 4
• 17% of units within a half
mile of entry point 4
9
Observations
Seven schools within a
half mile of an entry point
• Two high schools
• Five K-8 schools

Conclusion
• Majority of housing and population along the Dequindre
Cut is concentrated around the central entry points
• Primarily rental housing (ex: 75% renters within half mile
of entry point 4)
• Students in area could use path as access to schools
