The Eight Mile Wyoming neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. The area saw a decline followed by a recent recovery.

Eight Mile Wyoming is characterized as highly urban, with a current population density exceeding 19,000 people per square mile. This density indicates a compact living environment.
The estimated 3,802 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, suggests a densely populated residential area.
Eight Mile Wyoming's location along Eight Mile Road, a significant cultural and economic dividing line in the Detroit metropolitan area, may influence its demographics and development patterns.
The recent population recovery could indicate improving conditions or renewed interest in urban living. However, the overall trend suggests challenges in resident retention over the past decade, consistent with broader demographic shifts in many U.S. urban areas.
