In 2012, the Free Press profiled the neighborhoods around three Detroit school campuses,

Cody on the west side and Denby and Osborn on the east side, to chronicle the dangers

students faced on their way to school. This spring, the Free Press returned to those

neighborhoods to gauge the citys progress on making neighborhoods safer. Data show the

situations are improving, albeit very slowly. New streetlights are up and working across the

city, where thousands of old streetlights were out. But crime and blight continue to plague

Detroit neighborhoods. The maps below show the number of abandoned buildings that

remain in these neighborhoods as well as the change in number of crimes in 2011-14.
