Historically, Southwest Detroit has been one of the most ethnically diverse and densely populated areas of the city of Detroit. The Ford Rouge plant and its five-dollar-a-day wage brought Appalachian, African-American, German, Italian, Hungarian, Romanian, Irish, Armenian, and other Eastern European immigrants to settle in Southwest Detroit - creating the traditional blue collar neighborhood that remains viable to this day. 
     While the entire city of Detroit has faced considerable decline over the past thirty years, Southwest Detroit has continued to attract immigrants - mostly Hispanic families - and has maintained a sense of community and economic vitality.Commercial resources are concentrated in three distinct shopping areas: 
   Mexicantown - known for it's many Mexican restaurants and ethnic flavor, the area attracts a large number of suburban and Canadian tourists. 
Vernor-Junction - the heart of the neighborhood and home to Holy Redeemer Catholic Church and Schools, this commercial area caters to the demands of the local Hispanic population. 
Vernor-Springwells - a second neighborhood commercial area located in the shadow of the Ford-Rouge plant and the neighboring suburb of Dearborn. West Vernor Highway connects each of the three districts and serves as the area's Main Street offering everything from ethnic groceries to clothing and entertainment
