>>2417309The UP and northern WI are practically Detroit, per capita.
Note in the other pic, that the far more populated west coast of Lake MI (half-suburban) is almost all green, as is the fully agriculturally developed southern MI.
Cows make for safe neighbors.
You can buy 50ac in the UP for $50k, sure.
Good luck buying just 20ac land around GR or up by Milwaukee without setting aside $200-400k just for the land, then another $100-200k to develop it for a small house/doublewide. Sure, if you're buying for $500k, it's doable, but you're in affluent suburb prices here, not affordable rural prices.
On the other hand, you can buy 2ac for $50k or less, slap a mobile on it, and be done for under $150k.
