Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan and its roughly 50,000 students, with about 123,000 residents in Washtenaw County about 40 miles west of Detroit. Michigan Medicine is one of the state's largest employers, and Wolverines football at Michigan Stadium, the largest stadium in the country, brings more than 100,000 fans to town on game days.
