Metro Detroit

Metro Detroit is the American metropolitan area consisting of nine counties including the cities of Detroit, Flint (although it is often disputed whether Flint is included due to it's distance from the city of Detroit), Ann Arbor, Pontiac, and other outlying cities, villages, and townships in the U.S. state of Michigan. The Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint Combined Metropolitan Statistical Area has about 5,516,124 inhabitants and is the eighth largest metropolitan area in the United States. (Note: this does not include population figures for Windsor, Ontario or other nearby Canadian cities, although these may be informally included in Metro Detroit by some sources.)

Though this metropolitan area officially encompasses most of Southeast Michigan, residents of outlying communities (such as Flint, Port Huron and Monroe) may not consider where they live to be part of the "Detroit area." Michiganders have traditionally defined "Metro Detroit" as the three counties containing or bordering the city of Detroit--Wayne, Oakland and Macomb.
