City Facts

Community Profile

Taylor is in the Downriver section of Metropolitan Detroit, an area that is south of Dearborn, north of Monroe, west of the Detroit River and just east of Detroit Metropolitan Airport. We like to say "all roads lead to Taylor" since we are intersected by the I-94 and I-75 freeways, we are home to six miles of Telegraph Road (US-24) and we are just blocks away from the Southfield Freeway (Monday through 39).

2010 Population

The population as of 2010 was 63,131. Taylor is the 17th most populous city in Michigan and the 418th largest city in the United States.
