The correct answer is

it was located in a white neighborhood

The idea was to build a neighborhood for African-Americans, but Detroit was met with heavy resistance from the local White population, predominantly of Polish descent. This resulted with the White people being heavily racist and forcing the African-Americans out by means of intimidation.
