The following is a list of unincorporated communities in Metro Detroit in the U.S. state of Michigan.
With Detroit as the principal city, Metro Detroit is defined by the United States Census Bureau as consisting of 10 counties in southeast Michigan. The Detroit–Warren–Dearborn metropolitan statistical area (MSA) includes the six counties of Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, and Wayne. Additionally, Metro Detroit also consists of the Detroit–Warren–Ann Arbor combined statistical area (CSA), which includes the four outlying counties of Genesee, Lenawee, Monroe, and Washtenaw. At the 2020 census, the entire population of Metro Detroit was recorded at 5,325,219—ranking it as the 12th most-populated CSA in the country. This accounts for over 52.8% of the state's total population.
Although the area is heavily urbanized, there are still numerous unincorporated communities found within the region's 172 townships (116 civil townships and 56 charter townships). All unincorporated communities listed are those that have a Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) identification listing the location as a populated place that is not within the boundaries of an incorporated city or village.[a] This article does not include ghost towns or communities that were once unincorporated but later included into a surrounding incorporated municipality. Census-designated places are also classified as unincorporated communities, and Metro Detroit contains 21 of the 212 census-designated places in Michigan.[1]
