Hamtramck ( ham-TRAM-ik) is a city in Wayne County of the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 22,423. Hamtramck is surrounded by the city of Detroit except for a small portion of the western border that touches the similarly surrounded city of Highland Park.
Known in the 20th century as a vibrant center of Polish American life and culture, Hamtramck has continued to attract immigrants, especially Bangladeshis. In 2015 its city council became the first majority Muslim city council in the U.S.

Jitney services for the elderly who can't move grocery bag on their own

A densely developed community which is extremely walkable. Wide selection restaurants and ethnically diverse food shopping options. Lack of public transit except bus service. Ethnically diverse population (we have the only Muslim majority city council in the U.S.) which gets along pretty well for the most part. Local politics can be contentious at times, and budget is always an issue. There is a high degree of community involvement with many volunteer groups.

There is a large old folks home down the street. Everything is in walking distance ( grocery, doctors, pharmacy) and the old folks are apart of the community going to cafes, music shows and all sorts of other events.
