Ypsilanti Charter Township
From ArborWiki
(Redirected from Ypsilanti Township)
Ypsilanti Township is the larger neighbor of the City of Ypsilanti, wrapping the city to the east, west, and south. The physical division between City and Township is difficult to find at times, especially in the Township neighborhoods north of I-94. The Township's unofficial motto is, "Why would you buy a home in the City? I hear taxes are lower in the Township."
- To the east of Ypsi City, the Township includes the area known as Willow Run, near the airport of the same name, and the West Willow area.
- To the west of Ypsi City is The Great Ypsi-Arbor Sprawl along Washtenaw Avenue, including the once-home of Iggy Pop.
- South of the freeway, the Township shades into farmland losing ground to newer development.
The Township has a larger population than Ypsi City - around 50,000 in the 2000 Census compared to the City's 22,000 - and wealthier, with median household income of $46,500 compared to the City's $28,600.
