Michigan City Named Among Cleanest In The US

Would you consider the city that you live in to be clean? When you walk the streets, do you see trash piled along each corner, or is garbage separated from residential areas? 25 cities have been singled out as being exceptionally clean based on the percentage of residents reporting on the presence of trash throughout the city.

According to a list compiled by Yahoo Finance, the cleanest city in all of Michigan is Detroit. This city ranks as the 16th cleanest city in the entire country. 91% of Detroit households reported seeing no trash throughout the city. Yahoo Finance mentioned that:

"Detroit is another old American city that was set up at the turn of the 18th century in 1701."

Here's what Yahoo Finance had to say about compiling the data to discover the cleanest cities across the country:

"To compile our list of America's cleanest cities, we used data from the Census Bureau's American Housing Survey (AHS) to calculate the percentage of households with trash or junk half a block from their residents. Based on this data, we picked top 25 American cities with the highest percentages of households reporting no trash."
