DETROIT

DECEMBER 2019

The Detroit Regional Chamber is proud to bring the business community the sixth annual State of the Region, which benchmarks the Detroit region’s economic health against our national peers. The region has continued to progress over the past year. Job growth, office and industrial vacancy rates, and median home values are all a testament to that. Over the past five years, the region has experienced significant median household income growth of 15.3% since 2014, rising to $60,513. This report not only highlights where the region is performing well, it also showcases areas for continued improvement. This past July, the unemployment rate increased for the first time since 2009 and despite increases in values, the region is last among peers in key economic indicators including educational attainment and labor force participation. Detroit’s poverty rate, while declining over the past five years, still remains the highest among peers. Progress is being made, but we cannot take our eye off the prize. Through the University Economic Analysis Partnership – a collaboration between the City of Detroit, Michigan State University, University of Michigan and Wayne State University – the City will be providing Detroit-specific data that will help the city and region to better measure areas of opportunity and continue on an upward trajectory. Moving into a new decade, there is a lot to celebrate and to double down on. Through regional collaboration and continued support from civic, business, and government leadership, the city, region, and state will continue to build on the progress that has been made.

Detroit is keeping pace with our evolving economy. Our talent pool, affordable real estate and low cost of living have created a technology boom in our region, fueling a sense of optimism among both small and large organizations.

The future of transportation is being born right here with new technologies like autonomous vehicles and green mobility. The Motor City remains a leader in the automotive industry, undeterred by the rapid technological changes needed to compete in today’s market. And young people are noticing. Since 2014, Detroit’s millennial population has increased by 10.9%, ranking us second among peer regions.

Innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit are thriving in Michigan, demonstrated by our remarkable patent record over the last five years. Between 2014 and 2018, we’ve seen a 30.6% increase in the number of patents awarded, over 26 percentage points above the national average.

At Citizens, we’re excited to see continued economic growth, but work remains to be done to ensure the overall health of our region. That is why we continue to support local organizations to strengthen our community, including the Detroit Regional Chamber with its focus on education, economic development and workforce preparedness, as well as the Gleaners Community Food Bank that works to provide a hunger-free summer to children.

We’re happy to join you as we recognize our region’s success over the past year – and look forward to working together to ensure an even brighter future.

COMMUNITY WELL-BEING INDEX 2018

In 2018, the Detroit region classified in the third quartile of the Community Well-Being Index and increased its ranking to 117 out of 156 communities. Despite improvements, the region remains second to last among peer regions. Ann Arbor continues to rank highest at fifth, up from 12th the previous year, and Flint ranked at 130.

R E G I O N A L T R A N S P O RTAT I O N In 2018, more than 42.6 million trips occurred across the Detroit region’s four transit systems, a 0.6% increase over the previous year. The region was one of the few large metropolitan areas that experienced growth in bus ridership, up 240,000 riders from 2017 to 2018 according to the National Transit Database.

In 2019, the City of Detroit implemented Dart, a single payment system to ride DDOT, SMART, and the QLINE streetcar. The service eliminates transfers and additional fees, along with providing unlimited rides within a time limit on the pass. Dart’s mobile app also creates user-ease by providing cashless payment.

In 2018, the 1-mill rate SMART millage was renewed by voters in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties, of which SMART transportation serves. The millage ensures the 9 million rides SMART provides annually will continue.

In July 2019, the Detroit Regional Chamber commissioned a statewide policy poll to find out which issues matter most to Michigan voters in advance of the 2020 presidential election.

When Michigan voters were asked if people of color in our nation were provided equal quality of health care, equal quality of education, and equal access to mortgages and loans, African American voters widely believe people of color are treated unfairly on every marker, while white voters are relatively split in every category.

E D U C AT I O N A N D TA L E N T

The Detroit region’s economy and prosperity depends on generating a strong talent pool and preparing a diverse pipeline of graduates entering the workforce. Educational attainment in the region continues to lag peer regions, despite growth over the past year. Graduating and retaining the 256,000 students enrolled in the region’s educational institutions will be vital to providing Detroit and Michigan businesses with a robust workforce moving into the next decade.

How Stoneridge’s MirrorEye® Technology is Transforming the Trucking Industry Automotive supplier Stoneridge, headquartered in Novi, Mich., is revolutionizing safety technology in the trucking industry with its MirrorEye® Camera Monitor System (CMS). Though “mirror” is in its name, this technology eliminates the need for conventional rear-view mirrors on semi-trucks, improving driver vision and minimizing blind spots. In fact, it is the only Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)-exempted driver vision system for replacing a truck’s mirrors.

State-of-the-art external cameras and digital monitors inside of the truck cab work together to not only offer an expanded field of view, but also cut fuel costs with improved aerodynamics and reduce insurance rates with enhanced driver and vehicle safety. The ergonomic design also provides greater comfort for drivers.

“At Stoneridge, we’re working to anticipate our customers’ needs and challenges, and develop and deliver systems-based solutions that customers may not have expected,” said Jon DeGaynor, president and CEO of Stoneridge.

Stoneridge is playing an important role in the advancement of vehicle intelligence and safety technology in the commercial vehicle space. MirrorEye® is currently available commercially for fleets and collaborations are underway with OEMs. MirrorEye technology provides better visibility with exterior cameras and

In 2018, the Army Futures Command moved its Next Generation Combat Vehicle Cross Functional Team (NGCV CFT) to Detroit in order to capitalize on Southeast Michigan’s assets. NGCV CFT drives combat vehicle modernization by developing requirements and bringing the Army’s science, technology, and acquisition professionals together with soldiers to meet their future needs.

Located at the Detroit Arsenal, the team has leveraged the technology, automotive and mobility industries, in addition to being located with its partners in the Program Executive Office for Ground Combat Systems and the Ground Vehicle Systems Center. Being in the heart of these industries and with its partners has allowed the NGCV CFT to gain real momentum as it pursues the Army’s number two modernization priority—developing the next generation of ground combat vehicles.

The team’s portfolio currently consists of multiple next-generation vehicle projects representing more than $10 billion in investments across the FY 20 Future Year Defense Program. Working with both traditional and non-traditional industry partners is vital to these projects. This has led to an initiative called Modernization in the Motor City (MMC). Conducted monthly, MMC allows companies to present technologies applicable to NGCV efforts to a team of experts for further consideration. Learn more at @NGCVCFT on Twitter.

Formed in 1999, the mobile robotics and simulation technology company Quantum Signal has adapted to changing regional industry needs. Initially working with automotive companies, the organization shifted to defense contracts in the early 2000’s in the areas of biometrics and security.

The organization has thrived as an engineering services firm providing intelligent sensing, data analysis, and simulation. Over the past two decades, as the traditional automotive industry has shifted to next-generation mobility, the organization grew its mobile robotics and simulation technology.Ford Autonomous Vehicles LLC recently acquired the organization and its technology.

Future Additive Manufacturing Aerospace (FAMAero) is an additive manufacturing company that has created a revolutionary platform for efficient innovation in the manufacturing market. Using industry-leading Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM), acquired from Sciaky, Inc in 2018, the organization is home to the world’s largest production metal 3D printer, able to produce metal parts over 12 ft. in length.

FAMAero operates as the first private, dedicated parts bureau in North America for large-scale 3D printed metal parts, providing manufacturers new opportunities to cut time and cost on production of parts. Their parts are orbiting the earth on satellites, flying through airspace on jets, moving about earth on many different types of land vehicles, and underwater on submarines.

Since the 1950’s, Humanetics and the companies it has originated from have had a long history of developing test dummies for testing air and space craft ejection seats. Over the following decades, the organization and crash test dummy technology have grown with the increased focus of safety on roadways and in passenger vehicles.

The organization’s 100,000 sq.ft. headquarters in Farmington Hills is home to the core of the organization’s R&D talent. The sensors and software platforms develop technologies throughout the military and defense fields, including specialty fibers in fiber optic gyroscopes, unmanned aerial vehicles, and sensors in flight controls.

In 2019, the Henry Ford Cancer Institute was the first in the world to enroll a patient in the GBM AGILE Trial, a clinical trial targeted at the treatment of glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. This clinical trial is a departure from the traditional, one-size-fits-all approach to clinical trials – a major step forward for precision medicine.

Traditional clinical trials take three to seven years to produce results, cannot be modified once started, and only study one treatment against the standard of care. GBM AGILE is uniquely designed as a long-standing platform with the ability to test multiple therapies concurrently against the standard of care and to be continuously updated with the latest information.

“GBM AGILE is intended to allow rapid discovery of better treatments for patients with glioblastoma,” said Dr. Tom Mikkelsen, medical director of the Henry Ford Precision Medicine Program and Clinical Trials Office. “The era of data-driven innovation has arrived, and it’s being applied to the most difficult problems in cancer therapy.”

This advancement was made possible by an international collaboration of experts in caring for patients with glioblastoma and the design of clinical trials.
