• Metro Detroit Suburbs Graded From Safest To Least Safe In 2026 Report (patch.com) — Metro Detroit residents can see how their suburb stacks up in Niche's 2026 Crime and Safety grades, which use FBI data, health statistics, and resident surveys. While Detroit itself is not graded, many surrounding communities are ranked from A+ to B-, with no suburb scoring below a C, offering a snapshot of safety across the broader Detroit region.
• Michigan 3rd graders try to log 30 million reading minutes in 'NCAA Read to the Final Four' challenge (wxyz.com) — Detroit is at the center of a new statewide reading challenge as leaders kicked off the NCAA Read to the Final Four program at the main library in Midtown.
