Disappearing cities of Metro Detroit: Clawson, Michigan

It all started here.

“Clawson is a cool little area with everything going on,” Prentice said. “You’ll be able to park and walk in the door, and you don’t have to work, and it’s kind of a small town yet it’s in the middle of everything. It attracts me.”

Clawson's population peaked at 17,617 in 1970. Its 2017 estimated population is 11,946 -- a drop of 5,671 (32%).



Incorporated in 1921 as a village and in 1940 as a city, Clawson ("The little city with a big heart") is nestled between Royal Oak to the south and Troy to the north, 18 miles north/northwest of downtown Detroit.
