As someone from a lower middle-class, Democrat background who is a registered Republican, I'm probably a bit more sensitive to that issue than I should be. But, I also think people tend to make too many assumptions when trying to draw those parallels.

Nope, not wealth necessarily. Wayne County, in addition to Detroit also has Grosse Pointe (old money city). It's more about urban lifestyle, union/autoworker focus, more eclectic culture, ethnicity, and religion, and exposure to both the infrastructure issues and poverty issues within the city.
Outstate they are more conservative, rural, agricultural, right wing, conservative Christians. I don't think they necessarily have more money. The exception is Ann Arbor, liberal land of the universe, thanks to the University of Michigan..lol.
