Detroit, MI, was ranked 9th worst for STI rates last year, but in this year’s study, it has unfortunately earned the distinction of the metro area with the highest infection rates. In our years of conducting these studies, Detroit has never before ranked number one. This also comes during a year in which our nationwide list of the hardest-hit metro areas included almost 30% more places located in Detroit’s Census-designated region (East North Central U.S., which includes the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana). Motor City has confronted daunting, highly publicized challenges over the past decade and has exhibited great resilience and spirit; we hope that next year’s study shows a Detroit that has rebounded and risen back upward in our rankings.
