Definition

For coverage purposes, metro Detroit is Detroit, MI together with every incorporated community within 88 miles that is closer to Detroit than to any other metro anchor — 23 communities and about 2,001,939 people beyond the core city. Communities are assigned to their nearest anchor, so the boundaries follow travel distance rather than county lines.

Geography

The anchor sits at 42.3314°, -83.0458°. Coverage extends in 5 compass directions from it, reaching 88 miles at its furthest. The largest surrounding community is Toledo, OH — 282,313 people, 53 miles southwest.

Climate

Between October and April the Detroit area averages an overnight low of 32.2°F and reaches -9°F at its coldest, with 170 days below 45°F — about 5.6 months. A cat’s thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F against a typical indoor 64–72°F, so those are the months an indoor cat here is actively hunting for a heat source.
