Home > Metro Detroit
Metro Detroit is the metropolitan area consisting of nine counties including the cities of Detroit, Flint, Ann Arbor, Pontiac and other outlying cities, villages and townships in Michigan. The Detroit- Warren-Flint Combined Metropolitan Statistical Area has about 5,516,124 inhabitants and is the eighth largest metropolitan area in the United States.Though this metropolitan area encompasses much of Southeastern Michigan, most of the people living within some of the farther communities (like those living near Flint, Port Huron and Monroe) would not consider where they live part of "Metro Detroit". For most Michiganders, Metro Detroit is comprised of only the closest counties to Detroit--Wayne, Oakland and Macomb. Some people living in these three counties would even consider themselves "Detroiters," even though they don't live within the boundaries of the city, but this trend does not contiue outside of these immediate areas.
The Detroit CMSA is colored in yellow. Anchor cities are identified and highlighted in red. Note that this map shows only the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.
