Assisted Living near Oakland County, MI

Oakland County is northwest of Detroit and directly west of Macomb County in Michigan. This county boasts the second highest population among the state’s counties with more than 1.2 million residents living in 907 square miles. Until recently, the demographic has been almost exclusively white collar families with demographics becoming more diverse each year. Oakland County is the most affluent suburb of Detroit and, for the past 100 years, ranks among the top 10 richest counties. This is attributed to the automotive industry’s concentration of major headquarters in the area; “Automation Alley,” as some call it. Positioned near what is known as the frozen tundra of the Great Plains, Oakland residents expect subzero temperatures in the winter and mild temperatures in the summer.
