This is incredibly depressing. Saginaw's losses were less than expected. Additionally Ann Arbor's losses were less than expected too. I always feel bad that the city of Ann Arbor has such a floating population. The bulk of the inner city is filled with non-residents, nearly 40,000 of them which take up all the housing. What Ann Arbor is left with is actual residents on the periphery. Maybe the city should annex Superior, Ann Arbor, Scio, Pittsfield and maybe Lodi townships. I'm sure it would make a lot of people mad, but oh well, population problem solved. j/k

I must say, I'm kind of surprised to see Kazoo up there with Flint, Saginaw, and Detroit in terms of population loss from 2000 to 2004.

Kalamazoo has lost a lot of jobs too. Phizer came in and choped everything up, unfortunatly a lot of high paying jobs left

By cities, I meant anything over 50,000, cities and townships, alike, if that isn't too much trouble. I was really just wanting it broken down by percentage loss and gain.

If the whole township presence of the first table doesn't say "suburban culture in Michigan is alive and well", I don't know what does. Townships are becoming the new symbol of elitism in this state. Almost every growth and every decline is township/city respectively. That is NOT good news.

It's crazy how many people Macomb Township has gained. My town is number 2 on the list for people gained.
For the most part, it seems that the places gaining populaton in the Detroit Metropolitan Statistical Area are "stealing" people from other places within the MSA.

25 of the top 50 gainers are in Detroit MSA - which seems impressive - but 32 of the top 50 losers are also in the Detroit MSA.

yes, but 50 years ago these places were not part of the efficiency of a sustainable population growth. Townships raise red flags because they are cheap to develop in, have little resiliance when it comes to NIMBY's because there is SO much space, so it's easy to "leap frog" the development, further increasing the sprawl and future difficulty to connect the "pods" of developed sprawl.

They leach off of the losing cities 10, 15, 20, 25 miles in who are and will be severely paying heavy prices to subsidize a weakening horizontal system that loses strength and support the further it dangles from the tributaries that lead to the spine of the region (possibly Woodward Avenue). Think of glueing popsicle sticks end-to-end from the very first stick which you are holding between your thumb and fingers. The further out it goes, it's going to reach a breaking point.

In a nut shell, these numbers represent the scenario that we are paying heavier prices to serve fewer and fewer people, ie, the rich. Which is why the gap between the rich and the poor is widening and the middle class is either keeping up or dying. Concentrated poverty gets worse and segregation by class and race stays out of control.

Think of why people are either buying Hummer's or Hybrids. You don't hear much from the in-between group anymore.

Does anyone have a good map of what area is contained in Macomb Township? I've been to New Baltimore before, and it seemed like that area of Macomb County was pretty flat, treeless and depressing.
Macomb Township is just west of New Baltimore.

You guys will like this:

The-New-Tony-Detroit who posts on SSP is one of my best friends and his family is from Macomb Twp. I go up there to visit them quite often and he takes me around showing me where he grew up.

I'm so baffled by what we see...

M-59 (aka 20 Mile Road) is like a freeway with traffic lights and 10 times wider being it is an ultra-boulevard. When I first saw the retail lining the highway, I was dumbfounded by how expansive it was and how difficult it was to see because of the width of the road in addition to the setbacks from the highway.

We'll take north-south routes up to 21, 22, and 23 Mile Roads, where he explains to me that they use to be dirt back when M-59 was only a 2-lane highway. The north-south roads are obviously paved and 4 to 5 lanes wide. But the Mile Roads are all newly paved and those less than 4 lanes are being widened to fit the sprawling development.

Then, we go up to 24, 25, and 26 Mile Roads which mirror what 21, 22, and 23 Mile looked like say 10 years ago. The biggest of the biggest homes are being built on these dirt roads, much removed by the "poor people's mansions" on 21-23 Mile Roads. It's sickening to know what the future lies for these next few miles of roads. They'll obviously be paved, then widened, then abandoned for the next 3 Mile Roads as the "poor" move in.

Low and behold the retail along M-59 will become outdated and obsolete, not because it couldn't keep up with the times, but because 30 Mile Road is the "new M-59 or current 20 Mile Road".

There's a viscious cycle occurring in Macomb County at and above M-59. If you ever get the chance, drive up there, zig-zag the Mile Roads until you start to feel the movement of suburbia...or should I say exurbia. This place makes suburbia look like Manhattan. It's really an interesting phenomenon that we allow to take place.

If you ever get the chance, go up there just to observe how the Metro Area is destroying itself. It's not like it's intangible. You can actually see it happening.

There's a place called Downtown Macomb or Central Macomb, or something to that effect. I couldn't tell you how to get there because it's in the middle of nowhere, but that's a prime example. It's like a town (more like a few buildings on some streets) that is only accessible from one entry. I'm not even going to try to explain it, because it's too confusing and rediculous.
