A recent report emphasizes the need for a coalition of various stakeholders, including government entities, businesses, educational institutions, and residents, to collaborate in efforts to restore Detroit as a middle-class city. The report is titled "Making The Middle Class: Leveraging Detroit’s Neighborhoods to Build a Middle-Class City" and was published by the nonprofit think tank Detroit Future City.

The report examines several factors such as population change, income levels, education, housing conditions, and neighborhood quality that are essential for increasing the proportion of middle-income residents in the city.
