Drinking games are often a popular way to pass the time at parties, and now, we have solved the mystery of Michigan's most popular drinking game. It's actually an unexpected one, too- at least I think so.
The staff at SolitaireBliss.com has put together a list of the most popular drinking games in each state in the U.S., as well as each major city. As for methodology, "Using Google search data, we combed through more than 3,100 phrases such as 'yard pong' and 'beer die table' to figure out the most popular drinking games across the nation. Some states are a little more creative than others when it comes to their favorite game, while others prefer some tried and true classics," they state. "We compared each state’s search results to the national average in order to determine which search term has a higher search volume when compared to the national average. This method of analysis allows us to even the playing field between smaller states with lower populations or a lower search volume and states with a large population with higher search volume."
According to the tally, the top games in 19 states were all about beer. Beer pong was also crowned the most popular game in seven states including New York, Nevada and Oregon. Beer pong is actually the only drinking game that I've played. Sad, right? Another popular game, flip cup, was most popular in Arkansas, Delaware, and West Virginia. In the Midwest, but not Michigan, Beersbee was a popular pick.
So, which game was No. 1 in Michigan? Cornhole came out on top. I honestly didn't even know Cornhole was a drinking game. I though it was just a normal, summertime game. In the city of Detroit, Beer Pong was actually the No. 1 drinking game, which make sense to me. Find the full list here.
Michigan is already the 10th most populated state in the U.S., and now, certain cities in the Mitten are growing. The latest Census data shows that 10 Michigan cities are growing at a faster rate than any others, so if you're looking to start a small business or find a job, these places might be a good bet.
HomeSnacks.com has put together a list of the 10 fastest growing cities in Michigan for 2022, according to the most recent census data. "To figure out which cities are growing the most, we simply had to look at the growth rates for cities sine the beginning of the decade, according to the American Community Survey put out by the census every year," they stated. Specifically, they looked at current population, population in 2010 and the growth rate from 2010 to now using the latest available data, which came out in December 2018.
They ranked all 148 Michigan cities with a population more 5,000 people from highest growth rate to lowest. Seeing that 5,000 was the bottom number, this study is very comprehensive, because it mixes large and smaller cities. "The city with the highest growth rate during this time was crowned the fastest growing city in the Wolverine State," they state.
Read on for the 10 fastest growing cities in Michigan for 2022. I'm familiar with quite a few of these towns, and it's nice to see them getting some recognition. It's worth nothing that one of the most wealthiest areas in the state is on this list, too, in East Grand Rapids. If your town is on the list, think of it as good thing, because it means business is booming, even if things are getting a bit more crowded and built up.
