Grosse Pointe hasn't been the region's wealth center for at least a half-century.
Yeah, there's an amazing legacy of historic estates right on Lake St. Clair, but most of the Pointes are pretty modest and middle class (or upper middle class). Postwar bungalows are a big component of the housing stock. Mansions are rare except right on the lake.
The Pointes probably don't even have 5% the number of million dollar sales as Bloomfield-Birmingham area. Even Northville, Rochester and other new money areas have much more wealth these days.
