Detroit's population has fallen to 713,000; Wayne County's to 1.8 million. This means only one VRA district equal to the city of Detroit. How does this change the maps?

The 2009  estimates for Detroit (910,921) and Wayne County (1,925,848) really stunk.  Especially Detroit.



Have census estimates historically been as notoriously bad as they were this decade?

Would it be possible to do an extension into Macomb? Macomb has to be split regardless; it's too big for one seat.



The two Wayne County districts here are both ~53% black.

Thought it'd be relevant to post here: Inks won the Michigan Citizens Redistricting Competition with this map.
