Detroit's white population is increasing

Weird little article in the Boston Globe today:

Why is that weird?  Is there a big demand for $3,000 Shinola bicycles and small batch distilled bourbon in the black community?  Detroit is budget hipster heaven.

Thanks for the intel, Republican Michigander.  Very interesting post.  I have no recolection of ever visiting Detroit so first hand experiences are always welcome.

I've read all kinds of articles about Shinola bicycles, tech startups, and small batch distilleries and that kind of thing so I assumed there were some white people moving there.  Frankly I wouldn't be surprised either way.  The population is a fraction of what it used to be so I could see it trending either way amongst various racial groups.  It's coming off such an extreme low all kinds of factors are perturbed.  Your summary sounds plausible.
