With a population of slightly over 10 million, Michigan is the 10th most populous state in the U.S. Population growth has been relatively slow but stable in the 21st century.
The demographics are diverse: roughly 74% of the population identifies as White, 13% as Black or African American, 5% as Hispanic or Latino, and 3% as Asian. Michigan also has one of the largest and most vibrant Arab American populations in the country, heavily concentrated in Dearborn and the greater Detroit area.
The state has a high rate of high school graduation, though educational attainment at the bachelor's degree level and above varies significantly between urban centers (like Ann Arbor and East Lansing) and more rural counties. Religious affiliation is predominantly Christian, though secularism is rising, alongside notable Muslim and Jewish communities.
