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 ranked as the 14th largest metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the United States. The area is defined by the United States Census Bureau as consisting of 10 counties in southeast Michigan. The Detroit–Warren–Dearborn 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 CSA, which includes the four outlying counties of Genesee, Lenawee, Monroe, and Washtenaw.
At the 2020 census, Metro Detroit recorded a population of 4,392,041—approximately 43.6% 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. Census-designated places are also classified as unincorporated communities, and Metro Detroit contains 21 of the 212 census-designated places in Michigan.[1]
