What it’s like

The place. Armada is a small village in Macomb County, where the pace is unhurried and neighbors tend to know one another. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a much higher share than across the county, and the typical home is worth more than the county's median household earns in a year. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and rain or snowmelt falls fairly evenly through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Within the village itself, the largest workplaces are Armada Area Schools, The Orchards Armada, a nursing home, and Armada Grain Company, which blends animal feed. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and across Macomb County unemployment has risen over the past year while the number of jobs has slipped slightly.

Things to do. The closest outing is Wolcott Mill Metropark, a protected area a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Lake Saint Clair, a large lake, or to the Detroit Zoo. The St. Clair River, one of the area's best known waterways, is also a longer drive away.
