I'm really surprised at the % Catholic numbers for Metro Detroit. I knew they'd be lower than Chicago, but not that low. Just 19% of white households?

Metro Detroit does have huge Middle Eastern populations, and those would be non-Catholic but (mostly) Christian and NHW. And there are relatively large Protestant Appalachian populations. But still, Macomb County is heavily Polish, Italian and German, Downriver is heavily Polish and Hungarian and suburban Oakland and Wayne have large, prominent Catholic populations. I grew up in the most Jewish corner of Michigan, and Catholics were still almost certainly the largest local group.
