List of municipalities in Michigan

Michigan is a state located in the Midwest region of the United States. According to the 2020 United States Census, Michigan is the 10th most populous state with 10,077,331 inhabitants and the 22nd largest by land area spanning 56,538.90 square miles (146,435.1 km²) of land. Michigan is divided into 83 counties and contains 1,773 municipalities consisting of 276 cities, 257 villages, and 1,240 townships. The largest municipality by population in Michigan is Detroit with 639,111 residents; the smallest municipality by population is Pointe Aux Barques Township with 15 residents. The largest municipality by land area is McMillan Township which spans 588.78 sq mi (1,524.9 km²), while Ahmeek is the smallest at 0.07 sq mi (0.18 km²).

Municipalities may be incorporated as cities, villages, or charter townships, which are unique to Michigan compared to other U.S. states. General law townships are unincorporated but provide some municipal services. Cities are not subject to a township's jurisdiction, but villages remain part of the township in which they are located; village residents pay both township and village taxes, and share services with the township. Since all Michigan residents who do not live in a city live in a township, a village's population is counted in the population of the township in which it is located.
