I'm doing some research, and I needed some help from you demographers. I know it doesn't matter if I beg, but, please, I do not want any commentary, just numbers. My questions is, how much (total number and percent) of Detroit proper's (or Detroit Metro's) businesses are Black-owned? I found some old data from 1992, but was wondering if any new data was available to compare it to? Thanks in advance. | ||

I don't think the census keeps this sort of info, maybe an agency that enforces DBE would keep this info? | ||

Help me with the acronyms, please. (i.e. SBA and DBE). If links could be posted, that be even better. Either way, thanks thus far. | ||

Unfortunately, I didn't ask for any of that if you'd actually read my post. I'm not surprised that you didn't, or chose to completely ignore it, though. And, to be truthful, I was hoping you didn't see this. Thanks Viziondetroit and Detroitplanner, for the sites. I shot off an email and hope to get a reply soon. | ||
