I don't think this is true. Yes, the upper Woodward corridor has the biggest cluster of upper and upper-middle class suburban communities, but it's not hardly "almost all" of it.
The "money" took three distinct routes out of Detroit: Woodward Avenue to the north Woodward corridor, Jefferson Avenue to the Pointes, and Grand River Avenue to south and western Oakland County. It's not a coincidence that every single one of the historic mansion neighborhoods in the city proper touches at least one of those three avenues.
