University town; high-value residential. Ann Arbor has a GeoNames population of about 117,000 and sits in Washtenaw County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Detroit, MI, 36 mi to the east of Ann Arbor. It is the 5th-largest of the 10 Michigan cities in our directory.
Ann Arbor's paving season typically runs May–October (about 6 months). Campaigns should be live by March, 6 to 8 weeks before the May start, and Nov–Apr is for retargeting, early-bird sealcoating inquiries and lower-budget awareness. 9 other Michigan cities share this season.
Cold-winter climate: Freeze-thaw cycles create a post-winter rush of pothole, crack and surface-failure repair calls, and sealcoating can only start once overnight lows stay above 50 degrees.
