SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN

'Southeast Michigan', also called 'Southeastern Michigan', is a region in the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan that is home to a majority of the state's businesses and industries, and is home to slightly over half the state's population. The region is home to Detroit, the state's largest city (and the nation's eleventh largest), and the numerous communities that make up the larger Metro Detroit area. Other important cities in Southeastern Michigan include Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan's main campus, Flint, and Monroe. Each of these cities has their own metropolitan statistical area. With 4,488,335 people, Metro Detroit is the tenth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Flint's MSA ranks 106th with a population of 443,883, and Ann Arbor's MSA ranks 141st with 341,847. Metropolitan areas of Flint, Ann Arbor, and Monroe, are grouped together by the U.S. Census Bureau with Detroit-Warren-Livonia MSA in a wider nine county region designated the 'Detroit–Warren–Flint Combined Statistical Area' (CSA) with a population of 5,428,000.
Seven counties currently participate in the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG): Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne.
SEMCOG Commuter Rail is a proposed regional rail link between Ann Arbor and Detroit.
