Some years ago about, maybe 2008, The Detroit Metro Area, including Windsor and all the way up to Port Huron and out to Ann Arbor was 6 million.

I like this scale of Detroit's size instead from Wikipedia...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit–Windsor

"The Detroit–Windsor region is an international transborder agglomeration comprising the American city of Detroit, Michigan, the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario, and the Detroit River between them. The Detroit–Windsor area acts as a critical commercial link straddling the Canada–United States border and has a total population of about 5,700,000.[1] It is North America's largest cross-border conurbation.

The Detroit–Windsor area covers the southeastern Michigan counties of St. Clair, Macomb, Lapeer, Genesee, Livingston, Oakland, Washtenaw, Monroe and Wayne; as well as the Southern Ontario City of Windsor and counties of Essex, Lambton, and Kent.

The super rich folk in the suburbs are a big reason with what's wrong with Detroit. A wage gap that high between the city and its suburbs is never a good thing

Detroit MSA is 4.2 million, Michigan is just shy of 10 million. Wonder what else they're counting on the Michigan side...

The MSA's of Ann Arbor, Flint, and Monroe are added in. And Detroit's MSA is 4.3 million.

Yes, the census technically doesn't consider them a part of "Metro Detroit" because of extreme amount of the job sprawl, as relatively few people actually commute into Detroit proper for work.

That said, their fate is indisputably tied to Detroit's and they're all in Detroit social / cultural / political sphere of influence (they all root for Detroit's teams, watch Detroit's media, use Detroit's airport, and even use Detroit's utilities).

The census also obviously doesn't consider foreign countries in their counts either, despite Windsor / Sarnia / Chatham-Kent also being joined at Detroit's hip for the same aforementioned reasons.

It would be nice if the list took account of cost of living. Detroit’s is way below the others on the list. Therefore, $1 million goes a lot further here. You could buy a few of the finest houses in the City of Detroit for that amount, but only a modest house in those other cities.

Detroit will rise a little bit as many coastal cities are wiped off the map, but Chicago will always be higher.

They're referencing some of the more extreme global warming predictions with respect to rising sea levels.
