Where there are people, there are bound to be rats. Big cities such as Chicago and New York speak volumes to the statement.

But, what about our Michigan cities?

Michigans Rattiest Ranked Cities

The two cities that made this list are in areas where there seem to be large numbers of people, so it only makes sense for some rats to follow, right?

Grand Rapids, Michigan made the list at spot number 31 on the list of the rattiest in the country, which doesn't bode well for them in the long run. Grand Rapids was actually up a spot this year compared to last... I hope that number isn't on the rise for our Michigan city.

40.) Flint, Michigan

Flint, Michigan made the list at spot number 40 on the the list of the rattiest locations in the country. Dropping down six spots on the list from where it was last year... that's a good thing for the city of Flint.
