Whether you prefer small-town or city life, Michigan has a place for you. That being said, statistics show that some places in the Great Lakes State are better to live in than others.

The best places to live in Michigan list were not based on a popularity contest or Facebook voting. Home Snacks used Census data and FBI data (impressive). Median household income for each of these places varied between Home Snacks and World Population Review. What you see listed below is income from WPR.

You may be surprised to see that two of the places on this list have an average income of less than $100,000. To be fair, the two places that average less than $100,000 annual salary are far from the poverty level.

These places may not be for everyone, but from all accounts (and Home Snacks) they are the 10 Best Places To Live In Michigan.
