Vacant Detroit Homes Rehabbed and Reoccupied

Thousands of once-vacant Detroit homes have been rehabbed and reoccupied over the last two years. U.S. Postal Service data shows that more than 9,000 Detroit residences that were vacant in January 2020 are now occupied.  With about 4,000 once-occupied homes that are now vacant, the net increase in occupied housing is more than 6,000. The postal service data looks at whole residences, not individual units. The data shows a healthy housing market. The newly occupied properties are scattered around the city, not located in any one part.
