3) Canton
Canton is known for its sizable Asian population. The city has a population of 90,000, and you’ll get to hear many languages here. Gujarati, Sindhi, Hindi, Urdu, Cantonese, Mandarin, Arabic … you name it! The city has people from all parts of the world. In addition to the lovely potpourri of cultures, the city has an excellent education system composed of more than a dozen public schools. Forty-six percent of the city’s adult population holds a college degree. In terms of crime, the city fares reasonably well with a violent crime rate of 1.44, which means that despite being the 11th largest community in Michigan, it’s safer than half the cities in the entire country. In addition to all this, the cost of living in Canton is less than the national average. You can easily find a house for $151,000. For all these reasons, Canton is loved by its residents.
