What it’s like
The place. Superior is a township in Washtenaw County, in southeast Michigan. Households here earn more than the county's typical household, and the great majority of homes are lived in by their owners. Residents are somewhat younger than in many American communities, and most adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail, and professional and business services also employing a good number. Within the township itself, St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Ann Arbor and the Hyundai America Technical Center are among the largest workplaces. The typical commute is a fairly short drive, and a noticeable group of residents work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. A short drive away, Michigan Stadium is one of the best known stadiums in the country, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art offers a museum visit close by. A longer drive leads to the Detroit Institute of Arts, a museum, and to Comerica Park, a stadium, both in Detroit.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Washtenaw County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Washtenaw County and the Ann Arbor, MI metro.
