• The population total
makes Detroit's Jewish
community the second
largest in the Midwest,
behind Chicago (248,000)
and ahead of Cleveland
(65,000), and lifts Detroit to
10th place nationally.
With Federation assis-
tance, Ukeles and Cohen
designed the population
study. Market Opinion
Research of Detroit carried
out the telephone polling.
Each survey averaged
30-40 minutes.
Stuart E. Hertzberg, who
chaired the study, and Aron-
son now are working with
Federation staff, community
and agency leaders to devise
implementation strategies
for the study.
"We won't do what has
been done in some other
cities," said Hertzberg, ad-
ding staff will not allow the
study to sit on a shelf. When
Federation's board au-
thorized the study last year,
they also approved $75,000
to create a computer data
base to utilize the findings.
Over a five-month period,
beginning in April, Ukeles
and Cohen are expected to
make additional reports
covering the Detroit Jewish
community's mobility, af-
filiation, service needs and
participation in the Allied
Jewish Campaign. The final
report is expected in Oc-
tober.
For the purposes of the
survey, the researchers
defined a Jew as anyone who
identifies himself as a Jew,
or who has no religious pre-
ference but was raised as a
Jew.
The survey also found:
• 79 percent or 75,500
Jews lived in the 12 core
suburbs and 20,400 or 21
percent live in other areas of
Oakland, Wayne and
Macomb counties.
• Mirroring national
statistics, Detroit's Jewish
households averaged 2.25
persons in 1989, down from
3.20 in 1963. But the corn-
munity had 42,600 Jewish
households in 1989, corn-
pared to 26,400 in 1963.
Jewish households were
defined as any that had a
person who identified as a
Jew.
• 14 percent of the corn-
munity was 9 years old or
younger, 12 percent was 10-
19, 7 percent was 20-29, 14
percent was 30-39, 16 per-
cent 40-49, 12 percent 50-59,
14 percent 60-69, and 11 per-
cent age 70 or older. Ukeles
suggested that the drop in
the 20-29 category reflected
the numbers of students who
go away to college and
return later.
• Nearly 80 percent of all
Jewish men in Detroit and
70 percent of Jewish women
are college graduates, with
39 percent of the men and 21
percent of the women
holding master's or profes-
sional degrees.
• 35 percent of those
surveyed identified them-
selves as Conservative Jews
and 35 percent said they
were Reform Jews. 10 per-
cent said they were Or-
thodox. 8 percent said they
were "just Jewish."
Others said they were
secularist or humanist (5
percent), Conservative-
Reform (3 percent), tradi-
tional (1 percent),
Reconstructionist (1 per-
