Household Moving to Detroit, Michigan
Detroit is a city located in Wayne County, in the U.S. state of Michigan. The largest city in the state and the county seat of Wayne County, Detroit is home to a population of over 680,200 residents, and anchors a metropolitan area of over 4.29 million residents. Once one of the largest and most expansive manufacturing cities in the United States, Detroit saw rising crime and an exodus of residents during the latter half of the 20th century, as their major automotive factories and businesses began to disappear thanks to deindustrialization of the northern United States. The city’s population has plummeted from over 1.5 million at its height in 1950, though in recent years an emphasis on urban redevelopment and a plan for economic diversification has helped Detroit start the long road to recovery.
Household moving to Detroit will likely be cheap on the homebuying front, as the city is home to a number of abandoned buildings and even entire neighborhoods that have seen decline in recent years. This has resulted in low property rates in the city proper, though the developed commuter cities on the outskirts of Detroit typically see more household moving services than the city itself. Nonetheless, moving companies are always willing to run routes into and out of the Detroit area, as it is a popular location for people to relocate both from and to. During the winter months the prices may be a bit more expensive, largely due to the fact that the winter months bring lots of snow and ice to the Detroit area, but on the whole it should not be more expensive than most other major cities of a similar distance apart.
