The red area south of Eight Mile Road is the city of Hamtramck, which in my youth was almost 100% Polish and home to Shield's Bar that had the best pizza in town.
Back around 1950, the city boasted a Polish language weekly newspaper and a Polish language AM radio station (as in polka music interrupted by commercials).

I've read that it depends on how it's measured, but either Milwaukee or Detroit ranks as #1, depending on specifically what is looked at. This link has Detroit listed as #1, but I've seen others that have Milwaukee listed as #1.
