That doesn't really surprise me. The city was mostly working class up through the early 00s, but over the last decade has become a little bit of a yuppie enclave. But it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the yuppie gains aren't enough to offset the working class losses.

Detroit's decline gets all of the attention, but Detroit's suburbs have also declined, especially when compared to their counterparts in other large metro areas. Some have managed to decline less than others, and for a 'burb that directly borders Detroit, Ferndale has likely done better than almost all of the others in that category.
